How should I interpret a paragraph in the court order to myself?

Questioner

A court order states that the accrued pension must take place in accordance with the statutory scheme. My question is: How should I explain the word 'must'? For information, the settlement has not taken place! Who is in default?

Lawyer

Although I am not familiar with the relevant order, I expect that you both may not have requested the settlement from the Pension Insurers. I advise you to do so, in consultation with your ex. After the divorce, you have up to two years to arrange this.
