Today we've had some volunteers from Blackburn Bid, who are undertaking a much needed tidy up of the garden fronts on Richmond Terrace!

Thank you so much to the volunteers for their efforts, Richmond Terrace is looking great! #BlackburnBID #Blackburn #LawFirm

FAQ: Will Divorce affect my pension? In a divorce, pensions are considered along with all other financial assets of the marriage and a pension can often be the most valuable asset to be added to the matrimonial pot. Your pension may be split or you may have to transfer a percentage of your pension to your ex spouse, but this depends on your individual situation. For example, if you're spouse did not work and you did, you are required to share your pension due to pension sharing, which was introduced in 2000. How do you protect your pension? If you enter a prenup agreement before marriage, thos can help you protect your pension by setting out how it should be dealt with in the event of a divorce. You could also get a financial consent order, which allows you to ask the court to divide your pension in a fair way.
