🏦 What to Do About Retirement Plans That Were Shared During Marriage? | Los Angeles Divorce
💼 In California, retirement contributions made during the marriage are considered community property—even if the account is only in one spouse’s name. If you’re divorcing and have a 401(k), pension, or IRA, it’s critical to divide it the right way to avoid taxes, delays, or costly mistakes.
