An Attorney Guiding Clients Through Complex Investment Account Division In Divorce

Last updated on December 5, 2024


In New York, marital property isn’t necessarily split 50/50 in a divorce. Rather, the state follows equitable distribution principles. This means marital property is to be divided in a manner that is fair to both parties.


A divorcing couple’s investment assets are split using these same principles. However, investments can raise some special issues when it comes to property division, including matters related to separate/marital property, valuation and asset detection. This can make dividing such assets a complicated process.


Poppe & Associates can help you with every step of addressing the investment portfolio division in your divorce. New York City attorney Kamelia “Mia” Poppe, Esq., is a skilled litigator who brings over 14 years of experience to meeting the unique needs of clients. Let her guide you to the solutions you need.

Dividing Stocks And Bonds

There are a wide range of factors that can complicate the division of stocks and bonds. For one, an accurate valuation of their worth can be difficult as their market value can be constantly shifting. Also, sometimes, a party may try to unfairly skew the property split in their favor by hiding the stocks and bonds they own. Mia understands what it takes to address these challenges and is ready to help you protect your financial best interests in your divorce.

Dividing Investment Real Estate

The division of a commercial or residential rental property can be particularly intricate, as both real estate and investment assets raise their own unique divorce concerns. It is important to have an accurate picture of the property’s value, its income-generating abilities, the costs associated with it and how it fits within the overall investment portfolio. Mia can guide you through the valuation process and the other aspects of pursuing a fair division.

Dividing Retirement Accounts

Retirement accounts are another class of investment assets that can be critical to carefully address in a divorce. These can include 401(k)s, IRAs and pensions. Given how much such assets can impact the overall quality of your retirement, it is very important to have a clear strategy regarding them when pursuing a just property division arrangement. Mia’s background in financial services gives her unique insights she can harness to advocate for your retirement goals in your divorce.
