Pension sharing / pensions and divorce

Divorce can create financial difficulties where independent financial advice is vital, particularly with regards to the division of pension benefits.

The specialist pension advisers at Focus have significant experience in this complex area and work with the legal profession on a regular basis to acheive a fair outcome for our clients who find themselves facing this often difficult situation.

  •  

  • Do I need to make further provision for my retirement?
