@hrabbit can you dispose of your assets into a pension fund? That may help.
@actd Not really, I try and put as much salary in as I can, I am not sure how assets would work.
It does not add a huge amount compared to income award, it is more a frustration that when someone pursues for as much as they can get, when they are better off financially than you are, but can also increase this using assets as a reason, it is frustrating.
RP gets big share of divorce settlement and buys a mortgage free house, NRP rents and keeps assets for rainy day and finds they can be used against him.
So not so much trying to solve my situation, just adding to the frustrations shared within this post about mainly the NRP not needing as much as they get, because they are fine financially, but harming the prospects of the NRP by wanting as much as they can get......
I assume using it to buy a house at the moment isn't feasible?
The principle isn't unfair really, it's the 8% that is just totally unrealistic and has been for years - linking it to bank of England base rate would be much more sensible.
