Asset Valuation Experience

Dividing up marital assets and debts goes beyond just taking an inventory of the items around your house and dividing them up. More complex assets such as businesses and pensions must also be distributed. We are experienced in the area of asset valuation and classification. We will conduct a detailed review of the value of a business owned by yourself, your spouse, or a partnership.

Pension Plans

Dividing up marital property that involves pension plans may present significant challenges. Division can occur based on the current value of the pension, via a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) that divides the benefit immediately so that both spouses will share the benefit when they reach an age of retirement. An interest in the plan can be given to a spouse without present tax implications or any penalty.
