DIVORCE & STOCK OPTIONS

ROCKFORD DIVORCE ATTORNEY FOR STOCK OPTIONS

The division of assets during a divorce settlement will often include the division of stock options between the divorcing spouses. Illinois law indicates that stock options awarded to an employed spouse during the course of a marriage will be treated as a marital asset, subject to equitable distribution between the two spouses as the courts see fit.

Though stock options may be considered marital property, with the expertise of a divorce attorney there is room for negotiation. Under Illinois statute, a judge will make considerations based on many factors. Such factors include the employer’s conditions surrounding the grant of stock options, the value of the stock shares, and whether the stock is vested. Given the complicated nature of stock options as part of asset division, an experienced divorce attorney will be able to negotiate the terms regarding asset division, ensuring your maximum entitlement to such assets.
