Whether you're considering pension sharing, offsetting against other assets, or simply trying to better understand the role pensions play in divorce, we provide the clarity needed to make informed decisions.

The financial side of my divorce has been by far the most stressful. The clarity and precision of your report really felt like a lightbulb moment which started to make things feel better.

I wasn't even sure that we needed a PODE report. What a mistake not getting one would have been! I would have been £238k worse off in retirement than I will be now.

A neutral pension expert getting to grips with the numbers even helped reduce the conflict between us. I'm no legal expert so I really appreciated how accessible the final report was.

Why people choose The PODE
10 working days from information to report
Many pension sharing reports take months to complete.
We deliver reports within 10 working days of receiving the information we need and have robust systems for chasing pension providers to help keep your case moving forward as quickly as possible.
Reports you can actually understand
Most pension sharing reports are written for lawyers. Ours are written for you.
Written in plain English and supported by illustrations, helping you understand not just the numbers, but what they mean for your future. Clear, accessible reports that don't require someone else to translate them.
Can we get a PODE report without a solicitor?
More people than ever are navigating divorce without legal representation.
Some pension sharing experts only accept solicitor-led cases. We don’t think access to clarity and peace of mind should depend on whether you’re represented. We stay impartial in non-solicitor-led cases by:
Keeping all communication transparent and shared with both parties
Copying both parties into all email correspondence
Holding post-report discussions with both parties present
