Financial order progress stalled - ex won’t provide pension CETVs

[Didsomeonesaydogs]

Looking for UK divorce process advice from anyone who’s dealt with this.

We’re doing an amicable divorce and a consent order. Financial arrangements were originally agreed in mediation, but my ex later wanted the pension sharing recalculated.

The issue is pensions.

I obtained the correct CETV figures from my pension providers (as requested by the company preparing the consent order).

My ex has provided updated pension values… but they are not CETVs. The case handler has explained more than once that the court requires actual CETV figures from the pension providers (within the last six months), not just current fund values / estimates, because pension sharing is calculated from the CETV.

He is now refusing to request the CETVs, insisting the figures he’s already provided should be used.

I already know arguing with him won’t change his position.

So my question is: if one party refuses to obtain the specific pension information needed to progress a consent order, what happens next?

Can the court compel disclosure / production of the correct pension figures? Do I need to move away from the consent order route and into a different process?

Would really appreciate practical UK experience.

For a defined contribution scheme the CETV is the fund value.

For a defined benefit scheme there is no fund value, and hence a CETV is needed.

So I'm a bit confused.

You can both agree to appoint an actuary. They value each in the same way and advise on how the spouse joins the scheme or alternative strategies. You both need to agree to an independent valuation based on exactly the same criteria.
