Greenwich Retirement Asset Division Attorney
Inclusion of retirement assets is a necessary component of an equitable distribution of assets in a Connecticut divorce. Deferred compensation plans and other retirement-related assets are considered marital property even if only one spouse contributed to them during the marriage.
People who attempt "do-it-yourself divorces" tend to overlook these very important and very valuable assets. They need help from an experienced Greenwich retirement asset division attorney.
Your retirement assets may include the following:
- Pensions
- 401(k) savings accounts
- IRAs
- Roth IRAs
- Deferred compensation
- Unused sick leave
- Any defined benefits that mature upon retirement
Work With an Experienced Connecticut Pension Plan Division Lawyer
Proper valuation of retirement assets is a job best handled by professional financial experts. A divorce lawyer takes information provided by a CPA, actuary or economist and adds it to the mix of components of an equitable asset distribution settlement agreement.
Division of pensions and other deferred compensation retirement funds may be performed by way of a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) which will divide these funds without triggering tax penalties.
