Divorce, Family, and Pensions

The settlement of a divorce can be truly life-changing. Our team is here to assist you when facing negotiations and support you through the whole process.

Divorce – We understand that going through a divorce can be extremely stressful. We want to take some of the stress away from you by ensuring that your future will be secured financially for you and your family. We will analyse financial proposals to test whether the funds will be sufficient for your needs going forward.

Family – When going through a divorce, you will also want to secure family wealth for their future. We work with our tax team to offer a truly joined-up service so that you and your family wealth are protected.

Pensions – As well as protecting your wealth for today, what about tomorrow and beyond? We look at the bigger picture when two people have decided to divorce; your pension fund should also be considered when separation of funds and estates are agreed. We are often asked, “Is it better to try to achieve a fair split or consider offsetting against non-pension assets?” We can offer the best financial solution for you.

The way in which benefits that have accumulated within pensions are presented can be confusing. This is typically due to the different regimes under which they operate. Our experts can help you understand your situation, and provide clear, comprehensive advice.

So that you can make informed decisions with confidence, we often use financially modelling as a cornerstone of our process. It helps us to demonstrate how different income and capital resources can be used in conjunction, to achieve the most appropriate solutions for all.
