OVERVIEW
Divorce becomes significantly more complex when stock options, restricted stock/RSUs, and company shares are involved. This webinar explains the key financial, tax, valuation, and settlement issues that arise when equity compensation and company stock are part of the marital estate.

Learn how to help clients protect assets through prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and navigate the challenges in divorce of dividing equity awards, valuing company stock, and negotiating settlements. Advisors who understand these issues can provide valuable guidance during one of the most difficult financial and personal transitions in a client's life.

Presented by a leading divorce attorney/mediator and an experienced financial advisor, this webinar delivers practical strategies, actionable insights, and a detailed real-world case study covering the full timeline: from prenup planning through divorce settlements, alimony, child support, and post-divorce financial decisions. A live Q&A session follows the presentation.
