After a long marriage, the pension you helped build may be the largest asset you own—and the one most easily overlooked in divorce. Yet countless women over fifty discover too late that their retirement security was negotiated away without a fair valuation. This book gives you the knowledge and confidence to claim what is rightfully yours. You will learn how to identify all pension assets (including hidden ones like final-salary schemes), understand valuation methods, and navigate pension-sharing orders, offsetting, and attachment. We walk through the interplay with the state pension, the tax traps of early divorce settlements, and how to rebuild a retirement plan on your own. Written with empathy and without jargon, this guide ensures you enter negotiations informed and leave with a settlement that sustains you for decades. Whether you are contemplating, in the middle of, or recovering from divorce, these strategies will protect your future. Part of The Later-Life Divorce Library.
