Pension Sharing Order

[Power53*]

After a 17year marriage ended I had to spend life savings in 2 trips to court to get what the law dictates I am entitled too. During my marriage I gave up my full time
Job to look after our 2 kids whilst my husband continued his career in the police force. We separated and he was of the view that I was not entitled to any of his full police pension which he he was in payment - I took advice; went to court and I was awarded 40% of his pension and a pension sharing order was issued by the court. A year and half later my husband will not pay his share of the admin costs to put this in place (I paid my share over 6months ago of £1800). I have had several conversations with the pension provider who inform me that they can not force him to pay it but I will have to go back to court. I have no money left to do that - does anyone have any advice /experience of this ?

This might be a bit of an off-the-wall suggestion.

You say he is a police officer. It is possible that his force might not be happy to learn that he is not complying with court orders. Is it worth writing to the Chief Constable and/or Police and Crime Commissioner?

Other than that, raising the £1800 yourself might be cheaper than further court action.
