ARE YOU OR YOUR SPOUSE RETIRED FROM THE CITY OF NEW YORK?


Despite the fact that many thousands of New Yorkers have moved to Florida, many divorce lawyers in Florida do not have much experience in dealing with pensions for former employees or spouses of employees of the city of New York.


Did you know that a police officer or firefighter's pension from the city of New York can sometimes be worth well over $2 million?

Captains and deputy inspectors' pensions can frequently be worth $3 million or more!


New York City school teachers have an excellent pension plan and after 30 years, a teacher's pension could be worth a million dollars or more!


Many divorce attorneys in Florida do not have much experience dealing with tax deferred annuities and New York City deferred compensation plan accounts.

 New York City sanitation men and New York City Correction Department retirees also have valuable city pensions.

 If you are a retiree from the city of New York, it is important that your divorce attorney be quite familiar with these retirement plans for New York City employees.  While a local Sarasota, Florida divorce attorney may have handled two or three New York City pension plans during their lifetime, my office has handled over 750 New York City retirement plans including well over 100 New York City firemen, well over 100 New York City police officers, well over 100 New York City teachers, and dozens of other New York City pension plans.  If you are the spouse of a New York City retiree, your spouse's New York City pension could be the single most valuable asset that the two of you have accrued during the marriage.

 You must have a divorce attorney extremely familiar with New York City pension benefits or else you may be cheated out of your fair share of your spouse's New York City retirement benefits due to a Florida divorce attorney not having much familiarity with these valuable pension plans.

If you are a New York City retiree, or the spouse of a New York City retiree, and you are considering filing for divorce, or have been served with divorce papers, it is essential that you consult with the Sarasota divorce attorney who is the most knowledgeable Sarasota divorce attorney when it comes to New York City pension benefits.  We offer a free 30-minute Zoom videoconference consultation in which we will discuss in great detail the benefits that you or your spouse has accrued including not only the defined benefit pension, but a possible tax deferred annuity, a New York City deferred compensation plan account, a New York City deferred compensation plan IRA, a local union annuity fund, such as the PBA annuity fund, etc.
