Question:
Are You Entitled to Your Spouse’s Retirement Plan?Answer:
Many times as an experienced Rochester Divorce Attorney, I am asked if you can be entitled to part of your spouse’s retirement plan.- If you have accumulated your retirement plan throughout the course of the marriage, this is considered marital property.
- If part of the money was made prior to marriage, that amount will be removed from the shared portion.
- If one spouse has a large difference between the two accounts, ask your attorney we can file a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

Client Reviews
“Mike will end all your distrust and annoyance associated with legal proceedings. He handled my divorce and did an amazing job keeping it out of court and getting me what I wanted. He was there to talk to the whole time and made me feel he was on my side by his comments and advice. He is now representing my girlfriend for her custody battle and he was the only lawyer we would contact to handle the case. He is truly a good person which is hard to find with people associated with the law in this country. Thank you Mike for everything you have done for me and for everything you are doing for my girlfriend.”
