Divorce is never easy and what makes it harder is that it often requires the fair division of financial assets. One often overlooked asset is the personal private pension that one or both partners have, especially as these can often be substantial and potentially life changing.
The problem with divorce and pension is that you’re often negotiating about something that’s not even ‘in play’ at that stage. In may not have actually matured as yet and simply isn’t available to draw down on at the time of the breakup. However, the build-up of a pension pot over time is very similar to the build-up of equity in a property and when divorce happens it’s important to recognize and understand the role that both parties have played in the creation of that.
What we do at Sirius Financial is help people. We help them navigate around pension issues using our expertise to find a way in which everyone can benefit fairly for the part they’ve played in its build-up. That maybe about unearthing difficult to access information or making provisions of the future when the pension matures.
Either way it’s our belief that divorce can be hard enough without the added pressure, stress and strain of an unresolved pension asset. We take that pressure away at Sirius Financial allowing you to focus on other, more personal issues that you may be dealing with at that precise and difficult moment.
