Legal Question in Family Law in New Hampshire
Stock Options and divorce
My daughter's husband has stock options at the company he works for (Note: company is in Massachusetts) They are divorcing after 18 years of marriage-Instead of attorneys they hired a mediator to work out the divorce agreement, but when they got to the court date the judge said they did not have enough information regarding the stock options so therefore, he did not grant them the divorce. How can my daughter make sure she is getting her fair share of the stock options in the divorce settlement?

Re: Stock Options and divorce
Your daughter should know that the mediator does not represent her interests, and cannot. The job of a mediator is just to get the parties to agree, not to ensure that the agreement is fair or necesarily complies with all of her rights under the law. Your daughter should consult with counsel and have the "mediated agreement" reviewed for fairness and to ensure her share of the award complies with what she would otherwise be entitled to.
