Identifying and valuing retirement assets
Sources of retirement income are among the largest assets that couples amass in the course of a marriage. In Maryland, if acquired or maintained during the marriage, these assets, and the future income therein, are subject to equitable distribution at the time of divorce. These assets can include any number of account types and plans:

Often, couples have multiple retirement accounts between them, and identifying the full scope of these assets can be problematic. Furthermore, there are multiple methods through which retirement assets may be valued. Only a knowledgeable retirement asset transfer attorney should be trusted to handle these complex issues. The attorneys at Jo Benson Fogel, P.A. skillfully identify and value all retirement assets subject to division, to best position our clients to succeed financially after divorce.
Achieving equitable and enforceable divorce and retirement asset transfer agreements
Some divorce cases go to trial; other cases settle before trial. At our family law firm, we approach every case with the assumption that it could result in litigation. By doing so, our attorneys achieve a level of preparation early in the case that best positions you to obtain the full and fair settlement to which you are entitled. In the event that we cannot reach a settlement representative of your best interests, our Maryland divorce litigation attorneys are always prepared to fight for you in court.
Reaching settlement, either before or during trial, is simply a first step. Once you and your former spouse reach agreement concerning retirement assets, that agreement must be appropriately memorialized in order for it to be enforceable. The Rockville retirement asset transfer attorneys at Jo Benson Fogel P.A. have extensive experience preparing Qualified Domestic Relations Orders and similar retirement asset agreements. Our agreements hold up under scrutiny by courts and financial institutions alike.
