Agreeing financial terms

Has anyone agreed with their partners that they will leave each others pensions alone? At the moment I have a Railway Pension which by the time I retire should be pretty good. OH has a small military pension and a few years from employment. He was Self employed for a few years and didnt really pay anything in but is doing so now and again by the time he retires will be quite good.
I think he would be quite happy if we agreed to leave each others pensions alone and have a clean break should we divorce after our seperation. Just wondered if many had done it and was it easy enough to get sorted?

I guess it depends on how you split the other marital assets. Lots of people split the assets 50/50 like me and my ex did but I had more house equity and he had more pension

Agree with pp
Pensions can be left alone
Depends entirely on whether there are enough other assets to reach a ‘fair’ outcome

The only joint asset we have is our house and there wouldn't be much in the way of equity as we've only had it just over a year now and we owe my dad the deposit back. We've had a quick chat and basically said if we divorce we would prefer to have no financial ties other than our children. He says he will always look after us but I feel thats unfair on him. He doesn't need to look after me. Just our girls.
