Pensions

What do you do about pension? Pension sharing or compenation?

Our pensions are about £30k apart, but even that...Hers is £26k and mine is about £55k. We always thought property would form our retirement fund. Her solicitor wants me to pay her half the difference, but my pension forecast amounts to something like £1500 per year....its nothing. So why should i turn around and give her an extra £15k out of the house (for example)

>>Her solicitor wants me to pay her half the difference

No. That is wrong. I am pretty sure that comes from your wife rather than her solicitor. £29K in a pension is not the same as £29K in cash and it should not be treated as such. In fact the value of these pensions and the difference between them is almost insignificant. If any adjustment is made in cash terms that adjustment should be minimal.

Thank you
