Divorce Attorneys for Retirement & Pension Account Division
For many people, pensions, 401(k)s and other retirement accounts are the most valuable assets they have. The question of how those assets should be divided during a divorce can catch people off guard. Many people think of their retirement accounts or pensions as being separate property. This is not typically the case and contributions and growth in these accounts and benefits which occurred during the marriage do often need to be divided.
As these accounts and pensions can be such a substantial part of the marital estate, it is incredibly important that you have the representation of a skilled attorney who understands how to protect your best interests and the years of effort you have put into building these assets.
Dividing retirement assets calls for aggressive representation and an attorney who understands how to properly characterize those assets as either part of the marital estate or as separate property. Contributions and growth to those assets which occurred prior to the marriage are separate property and need not be divided.
We can help you secure a division of retirement assets that leaves you well situated for the future. A qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) is a necessary part of any distribution. We will work to craft the distribution you need.
