Usually, a pension sharing order does not split the basic or new State Pension itself. Private and workplace pensions can often be included in a financial settlement, while the value of your State Pension may be considered when deciding how assets should be divided. Depending on when you reached State Pension age and your circumstances, divorce can also affect entitlement based on an ex-spouse’s National Insurance record under the older State Pension rules. Rules are complex, so consider advice from a solicitor regulated by the SRA and check the relevant guidance on GOV.UK.
