3PB’s Rachael Goodall successful in reported 'Pensions on Divorce' case

27th April 2020

3PB’s Rachael Goodall, instructed by Trethowans LLP, appeared for the wife in a case involving the treatment of pensions on divorce. The case was before HHJ Hess, Deputy Lead Judge of the Financial Remedy Court.

The authority quotes widely from the Pensions Advisory Group report published in 2019 and has very useful guidance as to how pensions should be treated on divorce.

Rachael was successful in arguing that the total £2.1m pension fund should be shared between the parties on the basis of equality of income, despite the husband's pre-marital contributions.

The case also provides helpful guidance on global maintenance orders and costs orders.
