Pension share

What other assets were there and how were these split?

How was this decided?

You need to demonstrate why you need more. How much do you need and why?

There were two houses and a lot of cash. Houses split 50/50. Cash split as to what was in whose name except I had more money in my name as had some From when my dad died that I needed to put into a trust but hadn’t done so he took half of that (£38k). I used to enjoy B.A. staff travel of club class seats worldwide but of course have lost that. I really don’t understand that I end up with so little as I though courts started at 50/50 split. This gives me £11k with my own pension a year to live on for next 5 years till I get my state and my life style is comprised even living with. A new partner as his income is less than half of my husbands and I have no rights to anything if he died. If 19.38 % is all I can expect then I have lost out big time on the pension I would have received if I had worked full time rather than bring the kids up but if that’s how it is then that show it is.

Ps cash ended up a 50/50 split with me giving him half my inheritance

I am on the other side of the fence here, why should you be entitled to a pension that he built up before settling down with you? See my recent post and you will see where I am coming from.
I welcome any advice or comments in relation to this thread.
Good luck Paulav

Thanks 220e...all sorted now (almost) we agreed on a reasonable share for me and certainly not 50/50. My ex still has a much larger income in retirement but I will have enough to live on. My gripe is waiting for it...upto to four months from implementation ?it’s been three months already...not sure what happens if the money doesn’t get transferred within the four month period which is a legal requirement....
