Question

I am looking for divorce settlement case precedents that valued qualified assets at their "Present Value" or "After Tax Value" instead of their Face Value. Where can I find such precedents? Simple example. We are splitting up a house with $600K in capital gains free equity and a 401-k plan with a Face Value of $600K. Most attorneys say these are equivalent. As a Financial Planner, I say that the 401-k plan is loaded with Federal and State Tax obligations (attached liabilities) and should be valued less. Where can I find some evidence to prove my case? Thanks.

You have an attorney and you want me to go do free research?
