Police Pension

Hello all,

I have been divorced for over a year, I initially arranged a financial Consent Order with my ex that she verbally agreed to but then refused to sign, mediation failed and now I am in court as the Respondent, my ex wants the House the contents, spousal maintenance, child maintenance and pension sharing. I have had my first appointment and the Judge has directed that he wants her solicitor and I to obtain a report from the pensions trustee, I am self repping and any advice on how this should be worded would be greatly received

If it is the Trustee providing the figure it would simply be a request for an up to date valuation.

If there is to be an actuarial report, normally a solicitor would prepare a draft letter of instruction which would be agreed by the opposing party (i.e. you).

With police pensions the figure that the Trustee gives is often misleading due to the way that Forces pensions operate. An actuarial report would be more accurate.
