Theme Group: Tech Compensation & Complex Assets
RSUs and Restricted Property
Description
Restricted stock units are commonly used in technology-sector compensation, but their structure can create confusion during divorce proceedings. This sprint explains how RSUs vest over time and how withholding and taxation occur when shares are delivered. Participants learn how to interpret vesting schedules and payroll documentation related to RSU income.
The session focuses on building a clear timeline of RSU grants, vesting events, and tax withholding. Understanding this timeline helps participants evaluate the economic value of RSU compensation and its potential impact on settlement discussions. By the end of the sprint, participants will have a structured understanding of how RSUs function and how they may be addressed during divorce negotiations.
