In Ireland, a Pension Adjustment Order (PAO) is a court-approved mechanism used to allocate pension benefits between spouses or civil partners after a relationship ends. This can arise following divorce, judicial separation, the dissolution of a civil partnership, or the conclusion of a long-term relationship.
Because pensions often represent a substantial long-term asset, how they are treated can have a lasting impact on financial security in later life. At a time when separation or divorce already brings significant emotional and practical challenges, achieving a clear and balanced approach to future financial arrangements is essential.
