We Want You to Be in Control of Your Financial Future
Our firm strives to resolve property division, including division of retirement funds, through negotiations. We believe that when a financial decision is left up to the decision of a judge, a client has less control of financial security. Our attorneys look at the big picture of your divorce. We know you would prefer to be in control of your financial future rather than placing this decision in a judge's hands. We proceed to the courtroom when negotiations have been exhausted.
The Proper Transfer of Assets
In some ways, property division is the most creative of all the elements involved in a divorce settlement. For example, as the division of a retirement fund in a divorce is considered, you will learn there are many options. Our attorneys will explore your options and identify the most advisable option for you. Contributory plans such as 401(k)s and IRAs as well as defined benefit plans known as pensions or annuities also have tax implications that our firm is adept at understanding.
Options can include:
- Lump sum payment
- Splitting retirement fund
- Receiving payments at retirement age
You may need a QDRO (qualified domestic relations order) that will secure your portion of a pension. Our attorneys handle the complex details of your property division, striving to put you on the best path for your future.
