Welcome
This blog is intended to encourage an exchange of ideas and promote debate about the financial issues that arise in a relationship breakdown. The concept is to create a platform for discussion that is not available elsewhere. Aimed mainly at professionals working in this area; lawyers, accountants, financial advisors and actuaries, it is also a potential source of information for the general public.
In our experience there is a significant variance in how professionals handle pension assets in divorce, with little consensus on which methods give the best outcome. We feel this is due in part to a lack of centralised knowledge and debate on what can be a complex issue. We intend to address this by posting our original articles on key subjects, as well as those contributed by others. Our intention is to post quality, discussion-worthy topics at least once a month, or more often if the need arises.
We encourage comments and contributions from all. Comments can be added to the articles on-line, if you would like to submit an article please email us at ancillaryactuary@bradshawdixonmoore.com.
Before leaving a comment, please read our comments policy.

Pension offsetting research
Anecdotal evidence suggests that the approach to pension offsetting in divorce varies across the UK. If the stories are to be believed, adjustments or “discounts” applied to the pension value can be something of a postcode lottery.
To get a better idea of what is really happening in this area we have decided to do some research. In the first phase of the project, we want lawyers and other professionals to participate in an anonymous on-line survey. Once we have analysed the data and published the results, we will facilitate a debate through this blog.
If you are a professional working in divorce, we would like you to participate in the survey. It will only take about five minutes of your time. Click here to go to the survey, hosted by SurveyMonkey (which claims to be the world's leading provider of web-based survey solutions).
