"For instance, if you are both say early 40s, offsetting at around 25% is probably close to right,"

Can you explain why someone should accept only 25% of the pension CETV?

For a wife with no pension at say age 45 - how would you argue for a pound for pound deal and what would you say to an opponent who said the Maskell judgement was the precedent for 25% only for offsetting?

Sorry - I should have attributed the quote and addressed my question to divorcelawyer.
Many people are confronted with this "25% only" mantra for offsetting - is it fair - is it legal- what are the arguments for and against?
