Employee Benefit Valuation and Division
Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) Lawyer

Our divorce clients reflect the population of San Jose and the surrounding area and include Silicon Valley professionals, business executives, engineers, programmers, and creative professionals. Their employee fringe benefits can range from company cars to deferred compensation pension funds.

How does one fairly evaluate and divide these complex marital assets? The divorce attorneys of Hoover & Bechtel, L.L.P. do it every day. You can rely on our knowledge of employee benefits, the human resources field, and California family law to ensure your divorce or separation settlement agreement includes all appropriate assets, including:

• Stock options
• Vacation pay earned during marriage
• Bonuses earned during marriage, but paid later
• Company cars
• Housing allowances
• Pension funds
• Retirement savings (401K)

Failure to include employee benefits on a financial disclosure form isn't always an indication that your spouse is trying to hide assets. He or she may not understand that employee benefits are marital assets.

Frequently, employees do not know exactly what their benefits are or how they work. We do.

For example, if your spouse has a pension plan, we will help arrange for a Qualified Domestic Relations Order or QDRO to ensure you will receive your rightful portion of his or her pension.
