There is no single formula for how property should be split following divorce or dissolution. Any property owned by you or your partner before you married that you lived in together as a marital home may be considered an asset to which you both have an equal right. The courts will take into a number of factors when deciding how property should be split, including the needs of the parties and any children and the financial resources of each party. The courts have the power to prevent (block) the sale of marital property and decide on how the proceeds of any sale should be apportioned. This may be necessary, for example, if the property is in only in the name of one person. In this case, a family law solicitor will register the interest of the other party with the Land Registry. You may be able to receive a share of your partner’s state pension and any private pensions they hold as part of a divorce settlement.
