What Are You Entitled To?
Generally speaking, you are entitled to your fair share of any assets that were accumulated throughout the course of your marriage including 401k, stocks and pensions. Separate property, be it inheritances or premarital assets, are subject to division by statutory and case law authority.
These issues can be very complex and require in-depth knowledge of complex mathematical and legal issues. There are also different approaches that can be taken. For instance, there are qualified plans that can be separated between spouses while a non-qualified plan's assets can only go to the person named on it. In that case, spousal support or other property could be used to bridge the gap in assets, still ensuring an equitable property division.
Make sure you receive your fair share. You have worked hard and contributed to your marriage. You deserve your fair share of the assets that were accumulated.
