Will Retirement Savings Matter If We’re Divorcing After Just A Few Years Together In Queens?

June 29, 2015 by Marc Jacob

While retirement savings are a valid area of marital property that has to be worked out as part of your divorce, in a short marriage they are likely to be a minor point.

Particularly if you are both young and working, claims can neutralize each other.

In cases where one spouse was the designated “saver” and the other’s income was primarily used to fund current expenses, the saver should expect that the retirement fund will be distributed in a way that reflects the two roles.

Division of retirement savings, especially in a pension or 401(k) adds a layer of complexity because of the need for a separate court order, known as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO).

The attorneys at Zelenitz, Shapiro & D’Agostino are fully versed in the process of obtaining and applying QDROs, and make sure our clients get the best settlement available.
