My ex and I are just getting around to divorce and Consent Order after living separate lives for 15 years after a 6 month childless marriage.

The only asset of note that we have between us is my pension pot of ~£40K which was mainly accrued post separation.

We've agreed verbally to walk away with what we currently have but is there a chance of my pension pot being at risk if my ex decides to pursue it?

I guess it depends when it was accrued, what pension she has and whether you lived together before marriage for a long time.
The chances are that the answer is no. You will need to declare your finances on a D81 Statement of Financial Information when you apply for a consent order to legally end any future claims.

Thanks for replying hadenoughnow - I really appreciate you taking the time.

I don't think there's going to be an issue.

We lived together for about 2 years before marriage and the pension was accrued post separation. I think I'm just a worrier!
