  1. Stock Options and Divorce
    Stock options can represent one of the largest assets divisible upon divorce. If this is the case, a proper value needs to be assigned to the options. This way an equitable property distribution can be awarded. The Black-Scholes Model is one of the more popular methods used for valuing stock options for divorce purposes. Don’t let yourself get shortchanged in the divorce settlement. Make sure you hire a professional who is familiar with valuing options, especially in divorce cases.
