Hi,

Divorcing my ex - married for 13 years. He has a police pension, he's been in the force for 16 years.

I have a final salary pension.

Our original verbal agreement was he'd have his, I'd have mine, but now he has decided he wants half my pension... so I assume if he's going to fight for half of mine I can fight for half of his?

Is it worth the battle or should I just push for the original agreement? My solicitor thinks we should be them both valued and go from there.

We have 2 kids if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Both are Defined Benefit pensions.

You need to post more details on ages, incomes, all assets etc for someone to comment but where pensions are shared it is usual to get both valued then move money from just one to balance things out rather than you have half of his and him have half of yours.
