    Wow - never even considered that pensions would be considered in a settlement - I thought these would be for each individual.

    I guess splitting everything makes sense, but just hadn't thought of it before andf it sucks for the person who had the sense to put away for the future.....

    So if one partner worked full-time for 40 years and the other took a break from *paid* employment to bring up *their* children, or perhaps was made redundant and was out of work for several years or maybe didn't have access to a pension with employer contributions, you think their pensions should be calculated individually?
