We’ve seen a dramatic rise in cases involving U.S. retirement accounts caught in the middle of international divorces, both from U.S.-based attorneys and their counterparts abroad.
And here’s the truth: Most lawyers get it wrong.
There’s no standard process. No universal playbook. And unfortunately, mistakes are common.
You can’t just submit a foreign divorce judgment to a U.S. plan administrator and expect it to work. It gets rejected. Every time.
Even slight missteps in the language, timing, or documentation can result in costly delays, rejected claims, or worse – lost retirement benefits for your client.
That’s why I’m hosting a special virtual session:

In this one-hour session, you’ll learn:

- How to get it recognized so a U.S. plan will divide
- The language, timing, tracing, currency, and tax issues that derail these cases
If you’ve ever asked yourself: “How do we divide U.S. retirement accounts in a foreign divorce?” This is your answer.
See you Friday. Let’s get it right, before your client pays the price.
