What Happens To My Retirement Accounts When I Divorce?

For many people, the most substantial assets they have are their retirement accounts, 401(k)s, IRAs and pensions. People spend a lifetime contributing to these funds and working to build them up so that they have the ability to face their golden years with a sense of financial security and confidence.

During the division of property, most assets and property that were obtained during the marriage need to be divided. This includes money put into retirement accounts and earned pension benefits.
