Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) and Stock Option Divisions

Many family law attorneys prefer to not prepare the orders or do not possess the expertise necessary to divide a qualified retirement plan or stock options upon divorce. Butterfield SchechterLLP has extensive experience in dividing qualified plans (401(k), profit sharing, ESOP, money purchase, defined benefit), government plans, IRAs and stock options between the employee spouse and non-employee spouse. We have custom-designed software to assist us in analyzing the division of stock option awards between the employee spouse and non-employee spouse.
