Taking final salary pension after divorce

Yes, it's still part of the assets of the marriage.

Unless you can persuade your spouse to take other assets in exchange for leaving you with the pension, you will need a Pension Sharing Order to split the pension.

Your pension scheme may not allow your spouse to share the final salary pension, and may insist on them taking a CETV (Cash Equivalent Transfer Value) out. You will need to check with the scheme. If they have to take a CETV, splitting the pension may be a bad deal for you personally (because the value of the guaranteed income you will lose from your pension is often more than they get in CETV), and you should seriously consider letting them have a greater share of other assets in order to hold onto the final salary pension.

Both of you need to talk to a solicitor and potentially an independent financial adviser as well.
