Head of Family Law
Grindeys Solicitors
Earmarking is now called a Pension Attachment Order: it is when the Court orders a pension provider to pay part of an individual’s pension to their former spouse.
It is quite uncommon now, as the order stops when the main pension holder dies or if the beneficiary remarries. There are still some cases where it may still be used, but its quite rare.
It has largely been replaced by a Pension Sharing Order, which puts part of an individual’s pension into the name of their former spouse, so it belongs then to the former spouse and thus is not affected if the original pension holder dies or if the beneficiary remarries.
