Roseville Deferred Compensation Attorney
Answers & Legal Guidance From Our Proven Divorce Lawyers
According to California Civil Code Section 4800, community property should be divided equally in a California divorce. Community property includes the "earnings and accumulations" that are obtained over the course of the marriage.
When considering this definition, many people do not think about the "earnings and accumulations" or retirement assets that are constituted by deferred compensation assets.
At the Bez Law Firm, P.C., our deferred compensation attorneys have many years of experience in advocating for couples facing marriage dissolution in Northern California. Complex property division can be a challenge, but our firm provides helpful counsel and perceptive advocacy so you can have total peace of mind.
We don't leave anything out. When it comes to your future after a divorce, our goal is to ensure that your rights and interests are protected.

What Is Deferred Compensation?

Some examples of assets that may be defined as "deferred compensation" include:
- Pensions
- Railroad Retirement
- Profit sharing plans
- Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)
- Profit thrift plans
- Workers' compensation benefits
- Restricted stock units (RSUs)
- Tiered salaries
- Keogh (HR-10) plans

- "Play or pay" contracts
- Structured bonuses
- Built-up vacation / sick pay
