SAN JOSE STOCK OPTION SETTLEMENT LAWYER
ATTORNEY FOR DIVORCE SETTLEMENTS INVOLVING STOCK OPTIONS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
In a property settlement for divorce, dividing stock options is among the most difficult of tasks. Stock options can be granted for past job performance, or they can be based on an individual’s continued future employment and future job performance. Stock options based on future employment pose significant problems in terms of valuation.
When the company in question is a startup or fledgling venture with bright prospects but an uncertain future, the valuation problem becomes even more difficult. The present value of a stock option may never be actually realized. Nevertheless, a stock option constitutes a real asset and in a property settlement a fair and realistic value must be placed on it.

WHO GETS THE RETIREMENT SAVINGS?
Pensions, IRAs, 401(k)s and other forms of retirement savings earned during marriage are community property and must be divided. These assets will often have both separate property and community property interests.
For example, some of the pension may have been earned prior to marriage and some after marriage. A family law attorney’s assistance is often needed to determine the separate property and community property interests.
