Dividing Pensions in a Divorce
In a divorce, one of the biggest assets to be divided is a pension. These assets can be complex — involving large amounts of money and several different types of retirement plans:
- 401(k)
- 403(b) tax sheltered annuities
- Thrift savings plans
- Profit-sharing and money purchase plans
- Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)
- Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)
- Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS)
Mistakes in dividing deferred compensation can be costly. Most commonly, attorneys fail to discover pensions held by one spouse. They may also put off doing the relevant legal work related to the pension until it is too late. That is why it is critical that you work with an attorney with extensive experience in deferred compensation property division issues — to protect your interests and your future.
Because these deferred compensation issues are complex, our lawyers often work with forensic accountants who are experienced litigators in the valuation of professional practices, business interests and deferred compensation packages, including stock options. Our forensic accountants have the capacity to conduct reverse audits, looking at books and records to make evaluations of important financial matters.
