Barclays pension CETV divorce!

xylophone

The pension was earned during our marriage and is probably accumulating,

Your husband worked for Barclays (latterly as a manager) between 1989 and 2005 and is a deferred pensioner of the Barclays 64 scheme which was a  defined benefit scheme. 

It will have been revaluing in deferment  according to the rules of the scheme.

Willis Towers Watson are the administrators of the scheme and your husband/his solicitor will need to contact them for a CETV for a divorce settlement.

Thank you xylophone.  Agree with what you and Silvertabby have said.  Unfortunately getting the information has been like pulling teeth and I have run out of money to pay a solicitor to pursue it.  As I have a valuation that is now 10 years old from an old CETV, I was wondering if I could work how much it would be worth now to see if it is worth me trying to pursue it.  I thought there might be formula or if someone on this forum might have a similar situation that would give me an idea.
I do really appreciate the views and advice given so far, thank you.

Just not possible, I'm afraid. 

If/when your divorce goes to Court, your ex will be instructed to supply a Form E (value plus other information).  If he doesn't declare this pension, then it would be the job of your solicitor to advise the Court that your ex is withholding financial information.  I know you have said that you can't afford to pursue this through your own solicitor, but it really could be a case of not being able to afford NOT to do that,

Thanks again Silvertabby.  Unfortunately there is no Form E under Scottish law.

Scottish law....have you heard of this: https://www.lawclinic.org.uk

Might be worth seeing if they are able to assist in any way?
