Divorce proceedings require a comprehensive understanding of both parties’ financial assets, and pensions are no exception. At J.N. Mukongolo Family Lawyers, we ensure that our clients are well informed about the intricacies of pension disclosure.
Why Is Pension Disclosure Important?
Pensions are a form of retirement savings that accumulate over time, often through contributions made during the marriage. In many jurisdictions, pensions acquired during the marriage are considered marital property subject to division upon divorce. Therefore, disclosing information about pensions is necessary to ensure that both parties receive a fair share of the marital assets.
Here’s what you need to know:
The Essentials of Pension Disclosure:
