What People Expect
People overlook pensions because they feel abstract or because they won't access them for years.
Court Reality
Pensions are often the second-largest asset in a marriage and are overlooked by about 58% of people handling divorce alone. Pension provision in retirement is hard to catch up on later. Missing a pension in the settlement can mean retirement security you can't fix.
