Were you ever supplied with the deed of separation or terms of settlement? It should have been stated in the latter.My question now is how do I proceed to clean up this mess? Would a court have a record of this “nominal amount” or some other entity?
That seems strange as I'm familiar with the terms of settlement of a divorce about ten years ago where Spouse 1 received the entire rights to Spouse 2's pension, a "pension adjustment order". Spouse 2 received no rights to Spouse 1's pension. Maybe the law changed after 2002.the judge noted that an individual could not sign away a right to a share of my pension but in recognisance of the fact she had been given the family home in return he made a pension adjustment order for “a nominal amount” to comply with the law.
Yes I have both documents but there is only mention on the divorce decree of "a nominal amount". There is no figure provided.Were you ever supplied with the deed of separation or terms of settlement? It should have been stated in the latter.
IANAL but I in your shoes I would hire a new solicitor and supply them with the terms of settlement. They should be able to advise how much a nominal amount is in € terms.Yes I have both documents but there is only mention on the divorce decree of "a nominal amount".
I thought about this a bit more and I don't think the files from your previous solicitor are even relevant.I then tried to contact the solicitor only to find he was struck off for fraud around 2015/2016.
I contacted the law society of Ireland and eventually a person came back to me stating they had his historic files and requesting my name, date of birth, addresses, dates of both legal proceeding and court they occurred in.
I later received a reply saying they could find no files at all relating to me as a client of the business and they could do no more.
I know she has not remarriedIANAL
I believe nowadays it is 0.01% or less e.g. one day of reckonable service.
I think a Pension Adjustment Order must be completed within a year. I don't think your ex-wife would have a chance of enforcing it now.
I would contact the Pensions Authority before engaging a solicitor - https://www.pensionsauthority.ie/en/
Do you know if your ex-wife has remarried?
Thanks MF. I will try this route first.OP can contact the relevant Circuit Court Office and take up a copy of the Pension Adjustment Order made.
It will be separate from the Divorce Order.
It is likely that the Order, as per Paid's reply, was for a very nominal (as in not worth more than a tiny miniscule) amount.
