You may wish to seek advice from a solicitor, and possibly a financial adviser, when going through a divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership. It is important to make sure you understand all the options which are available to you.

We have answers to some other questions which may help you understand the process and the terminology involved; 

• Will my pension be taken into account if I get divorced or have my civil partnership dissolved?
• I am getting divorced, how does pension sharing work?
• I am getting divorced, how does earmarking my pension benefits work?
• I am getting divorced, how does offsetting my pension rights work?
