Recent legislation means that a party is entitled to claim a share of their spouse’s pension on the breakdown of the marriage. There are many different types of pensions.

We work in conjunction with actuaries to ensure that the right Order is made in your favour. The new legislation provides for partners to receive part of their spouse's pension which can be placed in a pension scheme of your choice.

Certain industries have particularly good pension schemes (for example the Civil Service Pension Scheme) and LMP works with actuaries to ensure you have a proper understanding of how the schemes work, vital to ensuring that there is an equitable division of the matrimonial assets on divorce.
