Westport Divorce Planning Lawyer
For corporate officers, executives and other key employees, certain employee benefits such as stock options and pensions can make up a substantial portion of their overall compensation package. In a divorce, these and other assets that are part of the marital estate will have to be equitably distributed, unless a valid prenuptial or antenuptial agreement clarifies how these assets should be divided. Considering the level of discretion courts have when dividing marital assets, it is vital to have experienced legal counsel on your side.

Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs)
A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) recognizes a spouse’s right to receive a portion of certain types of retirement plans and defines certain specifications regarding the distribution of those retirement plans upon a divorce. For instance, it specifies a percentage of a retirement plan that is to be paid out at a set date, such as when that person or the original owner of the retirement plan turns a specific age. We provide experienced representation in securing expert assistance in effectuating a QDRO.
In other instances it may be advisable for one spouse to keep all of his or her pension or stock options, while the other spouse receives an off-setting share of other marital assets. However your asset distribution is eventually resolved, know that at Broder Orland Murray & DeMattie LLC, our attorneys will work tirelessly to help you accomplish your goals.
