Cover Your Assets – A Divorce & Money Podcast
Dividing assets in a divorce might seem fair on the surface, but taxes can quietly tip the scales. In this episode, we share why a Roth IRA is not the same as a 401(k), and why keeping the house might come with hidden costs later. We also break down child-related tax benefits, how to avoid penalties when splitting retirement accounts, and why your divorce decree needs to get specific. If you are negotiating a settlement, this conversation will help you cushion your financial future by thinking a few steps ahead. Key takeaways: * Equal numbers on paper do not always mean equal after-tax value * The parent with more overnights usually gets the child tax benefits * A QDRO can help avoid early withdrawal penalties when dividing retirement funds Connect with us! * Josephti Cruz on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephti/] * Jade Eagles on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jadeeagles] Divorce might be the end of one chapter, but it’s also a brand-new journey filled with hope and growth.
