The new change in the pension rules, which means holders being able to draw the full fund in cash, definitely gives more options for couples who are separating to deal with dividing their assets.
However, it is important that pensions aren't viewed as a cash machine though, because ultimately by cashing them in a crucial source of income in retirement is lost!
Greater access to pension funds under the government's new freedom reforms could make it easier for couples divorcing in later life to split their assets. From April, those aged over 55 will be able to access their entire pension pot as cash which could prevent unnecessary property sales and pension transfer delays for those divorcing.
