When thinking of marital assets, you may imagine the house, the car or home furnishings. But one of the most valuable assets is often overlooked: retirement savings. Millions of Americans have a 401(k), an IRA or a pension plan through their employer. And regardless of which spouse's name is on a given account, chances are good that a portion of the account assets is subject to division in divorce.

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is an alternate option to litigation or a judge deciding your case. ADR includes mediation, collaborative practice and out-of-court negotiations and settlement. A majority of my practice is dedicated to these alternative methods of resolution to find common ground and reach a fair agreement.
