divorce

[bubbles4920]

if you get divorced with no children, are you entitled to half of your spouses future private pension payout and company pension?

I don't see how and it would be certainly unfair if you did.

If you choose to divorce, surely you have cut the ties there and then. What either of you get up to in the future is of no concern to the other party.

It depends on the circumstances. MAYBE yes, if:

You haven't worked so you can give your spouse support in his/her business
You haven't worked because your spouse has forbidden it
You haven't worked because you are incapacitated and you spouse has supported you

These are just a few examples, it is not cut and dried.

you are probably going to be 'quids in' anyway - so employ a solicitor !!

You obviously dont know your divorce law.

If a couple have been married for say 30 or 40 years, and get a divorce the "estate" will be split.

The pension pot of the husand or wife is counted as part of the "estate" and the other person is entitled to some of it.

In some cases the pension pot can be the largest amount after the value of the house ( I recently retired with a pension pot of over �200,000)

One of my relatives got divorced and his pension pot was included in the estate. He had to give the house to his wife (with none of it for him) with the agreement he could keep all of his pension pot.

All solicitors nowadays would include the pension pot in the calculations of a divorce.
