Why pensions need proper attention
For many couples, pensions are worth as much as, or more than, the family home. However, they are often one of the most misunderstood parts of a financial settlement.
Poor pension decisions can affect future income, retirement security and overall fairness for years.
Pension sharing
Understand how pension sharing works in principle and how it may fit into the wider financial settlement.
Pension offsetting
Explore whether pension value may be balanced against other assets such as property, savings or wider capital.
CETV and valuation
Use real figures to guide discussion, so decisions are based on information rather than guesswork.

A note on financial finality
Financial decisions made during divorce, especially around pensions, are difficult to change once a consent order is sealed. Because pension assets are complex, informal assumptions can create long-term problems.
How pension-focused mediation works
Step 1
Initial assessment
We discuss your situation, the pension issues involved and whether mediation is the right route.
Step 2
Disclosure and information gathering
We help structure the information needed, including pensions, property, savings and debts.
Step 3
Mediation discussions
We guide discussions around pension sharing, offsetting and wider settlement options.
Step 4
Written outcome
If proposals are agreed, we prepare a clear written summary that can be taken to a solicitor for the next step where needed.
If agreement is reached, the proposals can be taken to a solicitor for legal advice and formalisation. Mediation helps you reach clearer proposals around pensions and wider finances before that stage.
