Thinking about withdrawing funds from your retirement accounts to settle a divorce agreement? Think again!⠀
⠀
Consulting with a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) before touching your retirement accounts can save you a significant amount of money. A CDFA helps you understand the legal and financial implications of dividing retirement assets. They can guide you through the Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) process, which allows you to divide retirement plans without facing the 10% early withdrawal penalty and additional taxes. By following the correct legal steps, you can ensure a fair division of assets while protecting your financial future.⠀
