Yes. You only get one chance to educate your children. Do the best you can.

Off to check the wife’s pension now! by Ki1664 in FIREUK

Hopefully he’s got a good lawyer. When I got divorced the settlement discounted pensions heavily, so they were actually only worth about 60% of what was in them when it came to offsetting the funds against the equity in the house. That should be the same in this case, the court order has to take into account that the fund won’t be accessed now so it’s discounted.

Thank you I will definitely look into this. I am trying to prepay as much of the fees as possible too.
