Either through agreement or decision of the court, your divorce should address the issue of retirement accounts.

In a divorce, the court has broad authority to arrive at a just and proper division of the spouses’ retirement accounts.

Retirement accounts can raise complex issues, including valuation and vesting, and even the process of dividing retirement accounts can be challenging.

This is an important area in which to get legal advice before you make decisions that could have a huge impact on your financial future.
