Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 (MCA 1973) contains powers for the court to make property adjustment, lump sum, maintenance and pension orders. A pension sharing order is an order requiring that one party’s pension has some or all of the fund carved out to form a pension fund for the other party. A clean break is the term used to describe the power of the court to bring finally to an end all claims that each party has against the other by way of a financial remedies order.
