Divorce and pension

Ex is drawing out the divorce process we have been split 12 months every time I start the process he puts the brakes on - he is due to retire in December 24 what happens if he draws his pension with regard to the finances.

The two big assets are his pension and the house does him drawing his pension affect how the finances are split.

Thanks

No. The pension is still a marital asset when in payment.

If he takes a lump sum, this will form part of the cash pot. The residual pension can still be shared.
There is action you can take to prevent him touching any lump sum.

What do you mean by he is putting the brakes on divorce? Has it been started? What stage have you reached? You can settle finances as soon as you have a conditional order in place. You'll need a court order for a pension share if that's appropriate.

In a long marriage, the start point for division of everything is 50:50. You could trade off equity in the house against pension income. Or trade off the lump sum against equity and share the residual pension.
