My question involves a marriage in the state of: IL
My MSA states that my ex is to receive 50% of my 403b, but there is no date in the agreement stating what date it should be valued. The only number in the agreement is the dollar value of the account at the time we first began negotiations, which was nine months and a lot of arguing before the final agreement and divorce. I say, because the dollar amount is in the agreement and the date is not, it should be that value, but my ex and her lawyer think it should be the date of the divorce. I cannot afford a lawyer to review this.
The agreement says:
RICHARD’s 403(b), TIAA-Cref, with a value of approximately $28,451.00 shall be divided equally between the parties pursuant to a qualified domestic relations.
Any advice is very much appreciated.
