Retirement Accounts and Quick Divorces –
The Complexity of Retirement Asset Division
At Hayat Family Law, we understand that retirement accounts are often a significant asset in divorce proceedings. A quick divorce in Santa Monica can complicate the division of these accounts, leading to potential financial pitfalls if not handled correctly.
The Importance of QDROs
In California, a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is necessary to divide retirement benefits. A rushed divorce might overlook this critical step, potentially jeopardizing your access to these funds in the future. Our team is well-versed in handling QDROs and ensuring that both parties receive their fair share of retirement assets.
