Details

Pension Sharing orders have been part of the toolkit of the family lawyer for over two years. Since their introduction they have been sought ever more frequently, revealing their benefits and problems.


David Salter, a leading expert on this subject, offers timely advice in this extensively revised new edition of Pension Sharing in Practice. He answers questions such as:
  • When is a pension sharing order appropriate?
  • What can I do if the CETV does not reflect the true value of the pension scheme?
  • Does the statutory charge apply to a pension sharing order?
  • How do I get all the right information?
All practitioners doing ancillary relief work will benefit from the immensely practical advice contained in Pension Sharing in Practice.
