I suppose if you're together for 40 years, she's been the loyal and dutiful housewife bringing up the kids, keeping the house in order and having tea on the table every day when you come in from work. You tell her she doesn't need to work and just keep the house ticking over and then,five years before you are about to retire you fire her off and leave her with basic state pension whilst you enjoy a £25k works pension might be seen as unfair?

I've neither lost out or benefited from this ruling but agree with it.

Not quite
10 years, both worked,both have pensions but one pension is slightly healthier than the other.
Also, both shared parental responsibilities, bills,domestic chores etc so the above theory doesn't stack up.

"Both shared parental responsibilites, bills, chores etc" - so why not share the pensions out?


Think you've answered your own question really.

Ok then how about this scenario, you both share everything but your pension is a lot better than hers purely because she doesn't/won't contribute more but would rather spend on clothes etc, why then should it be shared equally?
