What Is a Pension Sharing Consent Order, and Why Do You Need One?
A Pension Sharing Consent Order is a legally binding agreement used in divorce to divide pensions and other financial assets. It outlines exactly how pension benefits will be shared between you and your ex-spouse after the divorce. Once it’s approved by the court, your pension provider is legally instructed to transfer the agreed share, and neither of you can go back on the agreement.
Divorce can be a very stressful time, and one of the hardest parts is dividing the assets, such as finances and property, that you own together. Pensions are also seen as a shared asset in a marriage, so they need to be included when sorting out the financial settlement.
Pension sharing isn’t always the top priority for separating couples, with the focus being more on what happens with the family home. Pensions are a huge asset and vital for futureproofing your finances, which is why securing a pension-sharing consent order is essential.
Easy Online Divorce is the UK’s leading provider of Pension Sharing Orders. Pension providers will reject orders over the smallest technical details, which is why working with our experienced legal team is essential to avoid delays, rejections, and unnecessary stress.
Please note that without a pension sharing order, no pension provider in England or Wales will split a pension, even if both parties agree to it informally, this is why it is essential to secure an order when dividing pensions during divorce.
