In divorcing couples it’s usually the man who has at least 90% of the pension wealth.

Research by the University of Manchester found that while most couples have a pension, its normally one partner who has most of the pension pot.

Fewer than 15% of couples have pensions that are approximately equal.

That means there is huge potential for the sharing of pensions during a divorce.

And mostly that means the finances of divorced women would improve. See the Pensions on Divorce video below:
