Expert Reports for Divorce Professionals without the usual friction

Court-compliant reports your clients can actually understand.

Does my client need a PODE report?

We kept hearing the same thing about PODE reports:

  • Onerously long turnaround times leading to delay

  • Inaccessible reports, necessitating further interpretation for clients

  • Transactional communication rather than collaborative support

  • Reports which are disconnected from the wider realities of divorce

Why divorce professionals are switching to The PODE

Support + Communication

We’re collaborators, not just report providers. You’ll have direct access to us throughout the process for technical guidance, responsive communication and practical support when needed, helping make pension sharing easier to navigate for professionals and clients alike.

10-day turnaround + proactive chasing

Delays slow cases and can discourage clients from properly considering pension sharing. Our processes are built around responsiveness. We proactively chase providers and deliver reports within 10 working days once we have the provider information.

Other Divorce Professionals are saying…

  • This is the clearest and most readable PODE report I’ve ever seen in 15 years. I also really appreciated the updates and communication on what was quite a time-sensitive matter. We actually had the report back within 8 working days.

  • Your service is very refreshing. The report quality was exceptional, yet unusually accessible for a complex Civil Service pension, which meant I didn’t need to spend further time explaining it to my client.

    — Family Lawyer - Feb 2026

  • You have a convert. Over the years I've often been waiting 6 months + for a PODE Report. You seem relentless in the pursuit of pension information which I valued and the 10 day turnaround on the report writing was first class.

How we work together

  • Our costs are fixed but if you need a fee estimate to go on file or to present alongside other proposed providers, do so by….(complete)

  • Send your letter of instruction to professionals@thepode.co.uk. We will review this within 2 working days

  • You’ll get a checklist of the documents we need to get started. We check received docs daily so we can come back to you quickly if there are any gaps.

  • We take payment on account of £475 plus VAT per ‘side’ for all work. We are happy that this be paid by one side or both sides separately (do we want to say this - for impartiality it’s ideally 50-50?)

    This enables us to commence work on your case.

    The balance is due when the report is ready to be written.

  • Once we have gathered all required info from providers you can expect to receive your client’s PODE report within 10 working days.

  • Have questions or need clarification? Our professional connections receive unlimited telephone or email based support, as well as insights and technical assistance.

    We can also assist with pension share implementation once the PSO has been finalised.
