Property and Pension Guidance

Expert support for understanding how to deal with financial assets during divorce

When separating, deciding how to divide property and pensions can feel overwhelming. At Online Divorce Solicitors UK UK, we provide clear, practical guidance to help you understand your legal position, make informed decisions, and prepare for financial settlement — all with the support of qualified solicitors.

We don’t give financial advice, but we do help you navigate the legal framework so you can avoid costly mistakes and ensure your agreement is fair and legally sound.

Why property and pensions matter in divorce

Property, savings, and pensions are often the most valuable assets in a marriage. The court expects couples to consider these during divorce, and any financial order (like a consent order or clean break) must account for them. If you leave these areas unaddressed, you risk future claims or the rejection of your proposed settlement.

What we help you understand

Who owns what (individually or jointly)
What counts as matrimonial property
Whether your pension needs to be shared
How the court assesses fairness
What financial disclosure is required
Which documents the court expects to see

We help you gather the right information and ensure your financial order reflects a balanced, workable agreement.

Not sure how to value pensions?

You don’t need to get a formal pension report in every case, but you do need to disclose pension values (usually via a CETV or statement). We’ll show you how to obtain this and include it correctly in your application.

What if property is in one name only?

Even if only one spouse’s name is on the property or mortgage, it may still be considered a joint asset. Our legal team can explain how ownership, contributions, and family needs could affect division — and how to reflect that in a financial agreement.
