When a long marriage ends after fifty, dividing savings and investments becomes far more complex than a simple 50/50 split. Pensions, ISAs, investment portfolios and property each carry their own tax rules, access penalties and long-term consequences that can shape the rest of your retirement. This book walks you through every asset class you are likely to own together and explains how they are typically valued and divided under family law, without promising a one-size-fits-all figure. You will learn what questions to ask a solicitor, how to read a pension sharing annexe, when to use a financial adviser, and how to avoid the common mistakes that drain value from the pot. Practical checklists help you gather statements, understand your spouse's full financial picture, and negotiate an outcome that supports your own future. Whether you choose mediation, collaborative practice or court proceedings, this guide gives you the confidence to hold your own in financial discussions. Part of The Later-Life Divorce Library.
