How to get a CETV calculation

4 replies

atr79gb · 28/11/2019 13:11

I've been asked by my mediator to get a CETV calculation.

Does anyone know how I would go about getting this? I've had pensions with various providers due to changing jobs etc.

Do I need to contact each pension provider individually or is there a centralised way to do this?

Hi, yes, you need to contact the pension provider and tell them it’s for a divorce and they will send you the value. My stbxh & I have just got ours done for Mediation. Good luck with everything x

Just confirming what HulaChick said, you need to contact each provider.

Only the marital part is considered in divorce.

Contact all pension providers and ask for a CETV at date of marriage and date of seperation.

Subtract the smaller from larger, for all plans.

For each value you up end up with, multiply it by:

(Length of marriage / length of pension plan)

Once you have these numbers, add them all up and that is your "combined marital CETV component for all pension plans"

Note that pension division is still a legal Frey area but my above calc will give you guidance.

If you have a massive pension then seek further legal advice about the fairness of the calculation method.

The marital calculation method is a grey legal area. Reason for this is that the interest made on the pension during marriage, only exists because of pre-marital funds. Hence the borderline legal area.
