Example Output
Settlement Analysis: Sample Review
Overall Risk Score: 7.2/10 (HIGH RISK)
Critical Red Flags:
- 🚩 Alimony tax trap: $3,500/month spousal support taxed as income to recipient; consider explicit tax indemnification language
- 🚩 401(k) division incomplete: No QDRO specified; transfer may trigger early withdrawal penalties
- ⚠️ Custody ambiguity: "Reasonable visitation" undefined; recommend specific schedules (e.g., 2nd/4th weekends)
Financial Analysis:
- Property split: 50/50 division is fair market value
- Liquidity gap: Recipient gets illiquid brokerage account; payor keeps liquid cash (20% disadvantage)
- Retirement: Partial 401(k) transfer approved, but pension benefits excluded entirely
Recommendations:
- Require QDRO for 401(k) before signing
- Add explicit IRC §71 language for alimony tax treatment
- Define custody schedule with specific dates and times
- Adjust liquid asset split to equalize purchasing power
Comparison to Market:
Your alimony duration (12 years) exceeds typical range (8-10 years) for 15-year marriage.
