Divorce

[OpenMember]

I am due to start mediation next week
I run a small tuition company as a sole trader but my husband is a director of a limited company and has shares and a larger pension, which includes owning part of the building the staff work from.
Who is responsible for getting his pension valued and shared valued and how can I be sure the figures are accurate?
I stopped paying into my teachers pension around 10 years ago so mine will be minimal.

Ask the question in mediation. He will need to request a CETV valuation from his pension company and you will have the valuation shared with you along with everything else in your financial disclosure (same for your pension). You can ask a financial advisor to verify that its accurate.

It can be tricky with company valuations. My understanding is that it would be on you to get a valuation on his company and that can be expensive. If it is a family business with others then just forget it from advice I received.

This might help give you some information on valuations - https://iamlip.com/valuations-expert-evidence-capital-gains-tax-and-private-residence-relief/
I'm pretty sure you have to start the process of getting the assets valued yourself. Hope this could help x
