Retirement Benefits

Time and time again, I see agreements that call for the use of the Majauskas case to split up retirement plans (pensions) . Little if anything else is said beyond mentioning the case. All too often the reason why nothing else is said is that few lawyers know or understand the rights and obligations spouses have to each other’s retirement benefits. What the Majauskas case does direct is the use of a coverture fraction to determine the marital portion of a participants retirement benefit. The top part of the fraction (the numerator) represents the retirement benefit rights acquired during the marriage and the bottom part of the fraction (the denumerator) represents the entire retirement benefit acquired by the participant. Except in rare instances, the courts will split the marital portion equally.

That is where most of the agreements I see end. The problem is, however, that there are many more rights that a non-participant may have to the participant’s retirement benefits and the courts routinely find that, unless specifically laid out in an agreement, are waived. These rights may include pre-retirement death benefits, post retirement improvements to retirement benefits such as cost of living adjustments or early retirement incentives. They also may include post retirement death benefits such as survivorship options. One must also be clear as to when retirement benefits become available to the non-participant. Sometimes the participant is already in pay status and if one is not careful, the non participant may not see any benefit for years until the court orders them to start receiving their share through an order called a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. These orders are usually not drafted or signed by a Judge until well after the Judgment of Divorce was entered. Most lawyers also do not know the difference between a shared retirement benefit and a separate retirement benefit. Nor do many lawyers remember to specify who pays the costs of survivorship options and who pays for costs of drafting the qualified domestic relations orders. A scrupulous lawyer will be able to specify these provisions in their agreements to maximize their client’s interests. Make sure your lawyer can answer these difficult questions before you even think to retain them and place your valuable retirement benefits at risk.

Child Support

Child support in NY goes until the age of 21. However, there are ways that your child support obligation can end before then. Emancipation, in the family law context, is when a child becomes financially independent of their parents before they reach the age of 21. Some examples are joining the military, leaving home and working full time, or even finding their own special someone and marrying.

There is a special formula used in NY to determine the non custodial parent’s child support obligation which is set by the Child Support Standards Act. Call our office today to find out what your child support obligations could be.

Once child support is determined, it is not set in stone. There are ways that both parties can seek a modification of this amount through the courts. With over a decade of experience, the attorneys at Beckerman & Granados can help you get the modification you deserve.

Prenuptial/Postnuptial agreements

Whether you just got engaged or already tied the knot, you may have just realized that marriage is not just about love, its about business. The Domestic Relations Law in New York State treats a marriage as an economic partnership. Whether you realized it or not, by getting married, you are entering a business relationship with your spouse. If running a business is not what you had in mind when contemplating marriage, let the lawyers at Beckerman and Granados work with you to protect your rights and assets during the marriage.

Many lawyers will throw together prenuptial agreements for fiancés or post nuptial agreements for spouses, but few know the particularities and pitfalls that could easily render your prenuptial or post nuptial agreement null and void. From making sure proper acknowledgments are signed, appropriate disclosures are made, and fashioning the provisions to keep the agreements enforceable over time, Call us today because the lawyers at Beckerman and Granados PLLC are ready to serve you and protect your rights and assets before they are distributed at the time of divorce or separation.

Counsel Fees

Did you know that New York State Law provides for a presumption of an award for counsel fees to the less monied spouse in divorce? Many of our clients come to us as career home makers or child rearers. Many times they lack the financial resources of the monied spouse to effectively litigate and prosecute their divorce or separation proceedings. In other words, some of our clients may have difficulty in covering the costs of counsel fees in a contested divorce or separation.

The lawyers at Beckerman and Granados PLLC can guide you through the least expensive way to get you divorced or separated. We provide low flat rate counsel fee options on our retainers for most of our clients. Through our years of practice in the community we have learned how different judges will decide on the issue of counsel fees. Call us today to use our insight to your advantage.
