How does a pension sharing order work?

1. Once you have agreed the percentage of the pension that is going to be shared, you must make an application for a court order.
2. Once you have the court order, it must be served on the pension company.
3. The pension company will create a pension debit/credit. This is the amount in money that will be transferred out of the existing pension plan and into another pension plan.
4. You will need to fill in forms to tell the pension company where to send the pension credit.
