Lgps cetv

Paulastorycatmad

Hello
My husband and I are divorcing and trying to agree on how to split the pensions. He has local government ones and is telling me it will take 3 months for them to let him have the CETV figure. Or he can pat £150 to get it fast tracked. Does this sound right that it will take this long? My private ones wrote to me immefistely
Thanks
Paula

That appears a viable timeframe. The process is not the same as the contributions and benefits have changed a number of times this century. Civil Servants are told to give 4 months when wanting to draw their pension.

OK thank you. I guess we will just have to wait.

Hmm - not the way we used to do it. First CETV for divorce purposes was free, with charges only applied for second/subsequent requests within 12 months. Our turn-round target was 6 weeks (to allow us to get current pay etc details from the employer and GMP details from HMRC).

There's currently a 'hold' on actual transfer calculations because of the GMP revaluation do-dah - but that shouldn't hold up an estimate for a divorce court hearing (bearing in mind that the estimate would carry the rider ''estimate based on .... not guaranteed ....will change when further information received... etc")
