You will need specific information about your Local Government Pension Scheme benefits for divorce/dissolution purposes, including judicial separation or nullity.
Complete the divorce/dissolution of a civil partnership request form for this information, which will include the Cash Equivalent Value (CEV) of your pension rights. The court may take this value into account in your settlement.
The implementation charges will be recovered from you and/or your ex-spouse or ex-civil partner in accordance with the Schedule of charges for divorce procedures.
On finalising your divorce or dissolution you may agree, through the Court, to a Pension Sharing Order. Find out how a Pension Sharing Order affects your pension
We recommend that you review your expression of wish for payment of death grant. Ensure it is up to date, especially if you have previously nominated your ex-spouse/ex-civil partner to receive any lump sum payable on your death. If you are over 75 no lump sum is payable on your death and so this form does not need to be completed.
If you need a State pension forecast for your divorce proceedings please visit GOV.UK. State pension forecasts are provided by central government at The Pension Service.
We must use factors provided by the Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) for calculations. These factors can change from time to time.
