Division of Investments and Retirement Accounts

Birmingham Asset Division Attorneys

One of the most contentious matters of a divorce is the division of property, especially if one or both parties have many investments and high value retirement accounts. Many divorcing couples are overly concerned about immediate financial matters — such as a house, car or business — and fail to consider their long term circumstances.

At Gina H. McDonald & Associates, L.L.C., in Birmingham, Alabama, we help our clients analyze their potential long-term financial circumstances beyond the divorce. We examine documents detailing investments, retirement accounts, and pensions in order to maximize a client's immediate and long term financial future.

The share of 401k and Roth IRA funds our clients receive depends on the length of marriage, the amount of investments each party has, and other facts of the case.

Federal law and individual pensions can effect the amount a spouse receives during a divorce. Courts may not divide pension accounts in some cases. Our firm will help determine if you have access to your spouse's employment and military pensions.

There are no set formulas regulating the division of investment and retirement accounts during a divorce. Our firm uses this legal freedom to craft arguments that maximize your share of future financial assists as we protect your interests.
