Stock Option Apportionmentearned before and after separation

Equity compensation can be among the most valuable and most misunderstood assets in a divorce. Grant dates, vesting schedules, and the purpose of each award all affect how much belongs to the community. Even sophisticated executives and experienced counsel can find the calculations demanding. We analyze each award to determine what portion was earned during the marriage and what portion was earned after separation, using the grant documents themselves.
