In England this is either by a Pension Sharing Order or a Pension Splitting Order. This can be very important where the couple have agreed that one of them does not work and matrimonial assets, including a pension, are built up over a number of years.<br \/>\nIf there are sufficient funds available, the <strong>pension right can be offset by payment of a lump sum.<\/strong> However, if the principal assets have been divided 50\/50 and there is only the pension to deal with, it is very important to get advice before coming to a financial settlement in Spain. This is because if you divorce outside the UK it can be extremely difficult to then bind a UK-based pension company to share or split the pension.<br \/>\nFailure to deal with this issue in a divorce heard in Spain means that you would need to commence an action in the UK. In England, the procedure after a foreign divorce is to apply under the Matrimonial Proceedings Act 1984 in what is commonly called a Part III application.<br \/>\nTo do this an application has to be made to the High Court in London with the attendant expense and delays. It can be more practical to <strong>apply for the divorce in England to include an application for Pension sharing. However, there is a residence requirement of 12 months immediately before the application is made.<\/strong> You can also make the application if the previous matrimonial home was in England, or if you are considered to be domiciled in England.<br \/>\nBefore applying to the courts of Spain or of the UK for a <strong>divorce it is important to get advice about your particular circumstances<\/strong>. This is even more vital if there are pension rights to decide.<br \/>\nFor more information please email family@decottalaw.net or call 952 527 014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the UK courts there are provisions for sharing a pension or splitting a pension on divorce.
