Pension sharing order

Can anyone help please. After my divorce, I am receiving half of my ex’s pensions. Should I put them all in one pot?? Thank you

  • I know you have only asked about putting them in one pot, but the more information you can give the better suggestions and ideas you will receive. Do you know the amounts and number of pension, how old are you, when are you planning on retiring etc?
    Think first of your goal, then make it happen!

    Might be an idea to get some proper (paid for) advice, depending on the value of these.

    Are these DC/money purchace pensions (ie witha pot f money) or DB pensions (which pay a % of final/average salary)?

    In general keep the DB pensions under your own name, as for the DC it all depends. Can you keep them in the company plan? Or do you have to move them?

    What about your own pensions? What kind/type are they?
