Retirement/pension or profit sharing       (cont.)

Other types of pension plans will not be as easy to determine the “fair market value.” The pensions that report how much money you will receive “monthly” at sometime in the future, will need to be calculated for “fair market value”. The “fair market value” is not just the monthly amount. Your attorney will help you calculate the value and explain just what “present value” means to you.  Often, these values are one of the largest assets in most marital estates.
