Pensions are often the single largest asset in a divorce, aside from the family home. However, because of their complexity, many couples feel daunted when faced with decisions over how, when and whether they should be split. In the first of our ‘Meet the Divorce Experts’ webinar series, Sarah Ingram (Partner) and Charlie Geyton (Solicitor) from the Winckworth Sherwood Family team speak to Rhys Taylor of 36 Family Chambers, leading specialist in Pensions on Divorce. Rhys discusses the options for dealing with pensions during a divorce, types of pensions that parties will see and, crucially, how to avoid putting pensions in the “too complicated box” when working through a divorce.
