Process of Dividing a Retirement Account

Dividing a retirement account can be a difficult, complex process that will require assistance from your attorney. A court order can be entered to divide a retirement plan; once this happens it must be decided how the plan will be divided.

A property division lawyer can be extremely helpful during this process because if it is not handled properly, the division can create serious problems for pension and other types of defined benefit plans. Court systems have ways of computing the division, but do not have your long term financial goals or plans at heart, so by having a knowledgeable lawyer from our firm present during retirement account division you will do much to protect your assets.
