Information that will be required to implement a pension sharing order
Information and fees needed by the trustee
Before a Pension Sharing Order can be implemented, the Trustee may require all the following key pieces of information.
It is important to be aware that pensions are established under trust, which therefore means that they have got a very specific set of rules and laws which will apply to them.
Pensions also receive extremely favourable tax treatment, which means without the proper process, due research and approval from the court, it's not possible to move money between people's pension. Pension transactions are commonly irrevocable. This means that once finished, they can't be undone so suitable financial and legal help should invariably be sought to ensure that this process has been finished correctly.

6. Confirmation from the new provider that it will accept the pension credit.

When a married couple divorce or a civil partnership is dissolved, the monetary assets of both parties are taken into consideration by the court. The purpose is to be sure that the assets are split between the parties in line with the terms of the divorce.
After your house, your pension could potentially be the largest financial asset that you have. So it's crucial to comprehend the effect that a divorce may have on your pension benefits.
