He is supported by a large team of family legal advisors whose experience includes children law, collaborative law, family finances, armed forces pensions and negotiating settlement arrangements.
Yes, any former partner after a divorce could make a claim against your armed forces pension. This would have to be done by a court order.
How much they could claim depends on various factors including how long you were married and whether your former spouse had their own career and pension fund. And if they were to remarry, it would usually negate any financial claims. Talk to us about your personal circumstance for legal advice that is right for what you need.
