Family Law Forensic Services
Equity compensation
allocations
There are a variety of ways to determine the community and separate property interests in various forms of equity compensation (stock options, RSUs, carried interests, etc.) and we can assist with determining the right approach.
Income available
for support
Compensation structures can be very complex, and we specialize in breaking down all the components, as well as summarizing them in a way that is easy for anyone to digest.
Marital standard
of living
We can assist with income-based summaries or expense-based analyses, as a way to quantify arguments regarding this important factor in determining spousal support.
Separate property
tracing
Whether you have separate property from pre-marital assets, gifts or inheritances, or post-separation earnings, we can assist with tracing those assets through bank and brokerage accounts, real estate, or other assets.
Post-separation
accountings
Untangling post-separation activity can be tedious, and we can assist with navigating the details and any resulting reimbursement claims in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Retirement account allocations
Determining community and separate property interests in various retirement or other tax-deferred assets can be a part of our tracing and accounting work, which can then be used by a QDRO specialist to divide these accounts and assets.
