Has anyone divorced in their retirement on here, and completed the D81 form? Or any solicitors that could share their experience?
I’m very perplexed!
The D81 form asks for pension valuation- we do have that based on cetv
But we’re both already retired and are already drawing all our pensions. They’re defined benefits so not pots as such, they’re accurred fund entitlements
On D81 we’ve put transfer value into the section on pension valuation, but we’ve then also put the pension income as our income
We’re in effect double counting the pensions
It gives a value for our assets could never exist in reality. How can you have both a pot of pension money yet also state that same money as income for the rest of your life?
I’ve searched and searched for the answer, nothing on government sites on how to complete in these circumstances, nor any results coming back. Almost like no one divorces after retirement 🤷🏼♀️
