In many divorce cases, a spouse's retirement benefits compose one of the most significant assets owned by the couple. You or your spouse may be enrolled in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or a 401(k) Plan. But many other intricate plans exist, and some clients have no idea that the plans exist, much less that the plans are marital assets to be included in the property division at time of divorce. Hiring an experienced family law attorney who is familiar with the complexities of all retirement assets is critical in obtaining for our client a fair share of these valuable assets.
