Pensions on divorce · Using the site
Whether you are a solicitor, a mediator, or handling your own divorce, the pension side of a settlement comes down to three questions. PODE.expert walks you through each one, in order.
Step 1
Run the free two-minute self-check. Plain questions, no paperwork needed, and “I don’t know” is a valid answer. It tells you whether this is a case you can safely handle yourselves, or one where a proper valuation will save far more than it costs.
Step 2
Search the directory of verified experts. Filter by the scheme involved, region, likely fee and timescale, and whether they take direct or litigant-in-person instructions, so you approach the right people, not just the nearest.
Step 3
Use the guided letter-of-instruction builder to set out exactly what to value and what questions to answer, then instruct. Get the instruction right and the report answers what actually matters; get it wrong and you can pay for a valuation that doesn’t help.
The same three steps, whoever you are
A fast, defensible route to the right expert and a clean, agreed instruction, cutting back-and-forth and disbursement surprises for your client.
A neutral self-check both parties can run together, a shared shortlist, and a jointly-agreed instruction, keeping the process transparent and even-handed.
Plain-English help to work out what you are dealing with, find a verified expert, and instruct properly, or to see when you can safely do it yourselves.
