Division of Retirement Plans

How The Value Of Retirement Accounts Is Determined

Determining the value of a retirement account may not be as simple as it seems. One factor that makes the division of retirement accounts complex is that they may be a mix of both marital and nonmarital property. In other words, the retirement asset may have been accumulated partially prior to the marriage, while some may have accumulated after the date of the marriage.

It is important to ensure an accurate assessment of the components of the marital estate in order to effectively protect your separate property and to ensure that all marital property is included in your final property division. Our Missouri property division attorneys handling the separation of retirement accounts know how to carefully address this issue as they pursue a fair and positive outcome for you.
