There are likely to be a number of tax implications associated with the assets which may arise when assessing your properties, employee contracts and benefits and other assets with financial value, which again require specialist knowledge.

If a pension portfolio exists it is necessary to look at whether the split is fair and consider taking independent advice on future investment.

There may also need to be negotiations regarding whether ‘maintenance’ payments need to be made to either yourself or your spouse over the coming years and whether risk exposure exists for either party.
