We were only married for just under 3 years and the only other thing on the table is his pension (I have only just started to pay in to my pension within the last couple of months - He works within the emergency services and has been paying in to it the whole time we were together. I am not bothered by the pension, I don't want it as I'd rather have a clean cut and get on with my life.Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....0

It doesn't make sense to preempt the financial settlement by dividing up the marital assets in the hope that the early division will not be readjusted in a future financial order.0

If he tries it on for the house, I really suggest you go after the pension - his will be gold plated and probably significantly more generous than the one you've only just started paying into.
If I were him, I'd want the financial consent order to protect his new property and pension from a claim you might make - perhaps if you realise your savings/pension aren't enough for retirement.0 -
As you have only been married for three years, your marriage will be deemed as a “short” marriage lasting less than five years, the court may deem it necessary to issue what is called a clean break order. A financial clean break order basically means each party leaves the marriage with whatever they brought into the marriage.
