How Much Can You Keep?
When a couple divorces, the marital property division will include assets invested in:
- Pensions
- IRAs
- 401(k) accounts
- Investments, stocks or bonds
Contributions to retirement accounts that are made during the marriage, as well as any increase in value during the marriage, are considered marital property. If there were contributions and increases in value prior to the marriage, they are separate property. Typically, the portions of retirement accounts that are marital property are divided equally.
Tennessee divorce law requires equitable distribution of marital assets. This means that the court will attempt a distribution that it considers fair to both parties. When retirement accounts are involved, the court may choose a distribution that allows both people to maintain sufficient resources for retirement. We will work to protect your rights to these assets, keeping the tax consequences in mind.
