What happens if I get divorced?

Every time your personal circumstances change you must complete a new Notice of Wish form. This is to give the Trustees a guide when distributing any death Lump sum benefits.

You should consult a solicitor for full details. However, brief details of the ways divorce can affect your pension are provided in the following leaflets:

a) Pensions and Divorce
b) Pensions Earmarking
c) Pensions Sharing

The BA Schemes also offer the facility to nominate Dependant Pensions to an ex-spouse after Divorce.
Please note: The information provided is relevant only for divorces under UK law. Pension Sharing is only available for divorce proceedings which commenced after 1st December 2000.
