Police and army spouses beware!

This week we had a seminar about pensions for all our solicitors.
We started armed with matchsticks to keep our eyes open but we certainly didn't need that equipment when the pension specialists explained in great detail why the vast majority of Police and Army spouses accept far less than they should get on divorce in terms of pension entitlement because solicitors don't understand how "uniform" pensions work.
All of us had already been pretty aware of the issues and had been giving our clients the right advice but from now on we're going to be able to really go in guns blazing for clients who want a fair share of that pension and, for our clients who have the benefit of the pension, carefully put our position on the basis of the other side's expectations!!
