Many clients have concerns regarding their retirement savings and whether or not their spouse may receive any or all of that savings in their divorce. In Florida family law, all vested and nonvested benefits, rights and funds accrued during the marriage in retirement, pension, profit-sharing annuity, deferred compensation, and insurance plans and programs are considered marital assets and are subject to equitable distribution.
As with any asset or debt that you may have acquired during your marriage, it is important to discuss your retirement savings and or benefits with your experienced family law divorce attorney. Take the time during your initial consultation to discuss your assets and liabilities as well as your income and expenses with your divorce lawyer. The more information you provide, the better he or she will be able to protect and advise you.
