Receiving Your Fair Share
Many people think that if property or accounts are in the other spouse's name, then they have no rights to it. That is not correct. Unless the property is addressed in a prenuptial agreement, it is usually considered marital property. For example, even though your retirement account may only be in your spouse's name, it will still be divided during the divorce.
During a divorce, there are several ways to divide property. One spouse may be offered the house in exchange for the full retirement funds. When I work with clients, I help them understand tax implications of dividing a 401k or IRA account.
I am committed to protecting my clients' rights throughout their divorce, and I can help you maintain your financial security when your marriage is over. To learn more about the impact divorce can have on retirement funds, schedule an appointment with an experienced lawyer. I can be reached by calling 703-879-7729 or online .
