@raybbirch: "Hi,
As part of my divorce settlement 4 years ago, I was obliged to agree
to letting my ex wife have 30% of my pension entitlement. I believe at
the time, it wasn't thought that her own pension fund would be big
enough to split. As it was her decision to divorce me, and she is now
living with another partner, I am not at all happy with the idea of
having to relinquish 30% of my pension. It doesn't seem fair that
having spent all of my working life paying into this pension, that
when I retire, I'm going to have to give a considerable proportion of
it to someone who is no longer in my life.  Is there anything I could
do to reverse the decision. I'm guessing the only way to do it is to
give her the cash value of it and buy it back? Or is there another
way?
Thanks
Silverb19"

How about cashing it in, stumping up the tax, then buy a property.
I don't think you can alter that sort of settlement... "

That was the court ruling 4 years ago. I doubt you have any option in this, 
as most likely a pension sharing order was made which should have resulted 
in 30% of the value of your pension being deducted at the time. Have you 
checked with the pension company?
I have no idea why the court awarded your ex 30% of the pension, but the 
time for appealing the ruling is long gone."
