Property distribution and the division of marital assets
When faced with separation or divorce, the financial well-being of you and your family is often at the forefront of your concerns.
We will assess the total picture of your financial situation and work to protect your interests in:
- Bank accounts
- Retirement assets and benefits
- Health saving accounts
- Stock options
- Business interests
- Investment accounts
- Digital currency
- Personal property
- Real property
- Trust assets
- Vehicles
- Any other financial interests which you or your spouse acquired during your marriage
We work diligently to pursue a fair distribution of assets, considering the unique circumstances surrounding your situation.
Alimony
Whether you are seeking alimony or defending against an alimony request, we will guide you through the process and work with you to protect your financial security.
In some cases involving an alimony request, expert analysis and testimony are helpful in building a case around the factors a court will consider in determining an alimony award.
We regularly assist our clients with developing a strategy for alimony cases, deciding whether expert analysis or testimony would be necessary or helpful, and recommending potential experts for the specific situation.
Qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs)/Qualified transfer orders
A qualified domestic relations order (known as a “QDRO”) is a type of court order regarding how retirement assets or pension funds will be distributed in a divorce case without tax consequences.
The family law team at Silverman Thompson can help you ensure that these orders are properly drafted and implemented in compliance with the judgment of absolute divorce to protect your long-term financial security.
