Financial Order: husband can’t access his pension CETV

34 replies

evasmith1912 · 04/07/2026 09:22

My divorce was finalised 12 months ago but I can’t progress the financial order because my retired teacher, ex husband says that the Teachers Pension Scheme won’t release his CETV. He says he has requested it multiple times to no avail. Any retired teachers have advice on how to manage this? Do I just have to wait, potentially years to get this sorted or is there something else I could do?

He is possibly telling the truth, crapita are in all sorts of bother at the moment, they are months behind requests. They took over the civil service pension scheme and it’s a total shit show, people are having to claim hardship loans, losing their homes, there has been at least one suicide due to their incompetence.

Capita is a total mess. I’m not sure there’s much you can do except note any adverse impact on you.

Your ex could try the Ombudsman to light a fire under them

McCloud makes the calculation take longer too

I work in the field and Capital are truly terrible. I can’t get pensions into payment for our workforce at all

I don’t have a solution but just wanted to say my friend is in a similar position. Her solicitor has told her she can’t finalise anything until her ex has this piece of paper.
Apparently they are reviewing all orders because of a recent judicial ruling and it could a very long time. 😢

The McCloud remedy really slowed things down for a few years but I thought that was sorted now.

Is the administration Capita by any chance?

Yes- Capita. Apparently transitioning to a different administrator, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), later this year.
