Divorce and Division of Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units

This practical webinar will prepare family law practitioners and financial experts to better represent litigants in identifying, classifying and valuing stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) for purposes of both equitable distribution and income availability upon divorce or in the context of post-judgment modification. You will learn about the different types of stock options and RSUs, the identification, consideration and distribution of these stock options and RSUs in the matrimonial context, and the appropriate valuation methods for such stock options in the divorce and post-divorce context. Among other things, you will learn about:
