What are court costs for a divorce in the state of Oregon?
Oregon Retirement Account Division During Divorce: Can these be divided by the court? In a word, yes. Any retirement benefit earned during the marriage can be divided by the court in a divorce case. This includes pensions, profit sharing, individual retirement accounts, or any work-related benefit payable upon or after retirement. Because of the court’s equitable powers during a divorce, it does not matter that an account is kept solely in the name of one party.
This issue is very nuanced, and there are many exceptions to the basic premise that retirement can and will be divided. For this reason, you should discuss your particular circumstances with an attorney.
