Program Description

Join our panel of family law and estate planning practitioners who will cover the complicated issues that can arise during divorces when trusts are involved. 

Topics to be addressed:

  • Whether assets held in trust can be considered marital property and if the assets are subject to distribution
  • Whether a spouse can be compelled to pay alimony or child support because he or she is the beneficiary of a trust
  • Whether a trust itself can be compelled to make the payments

When these issues arise in divorce, they can have a significant impact on the outcome of the matter.
