There’s been a delay in getting the valuation from Teachers’ Pensions that I need for our court proceedings. Now my husband thinks I’m prevaricating

I am a teacher and I requested a cash equivalent transfer value (CETV) from Teachers’ Pensions in June. I needed to submit the value of my pot to the court as part of the divorce proceedings.

I received a wordy letter from Teachers’ Pensions saying that there may be a delay due to changes to the ways pension valuations are calculated. I rang for clarification and, after an hour on hold, was told that there was no timeframe for my valuation to be completed, and that I could not finalise my divorce without it, unless my husband waived his right to half my pension.
