Essex v. Essex

COPE, Judge

(concurring).

I join the opinion of the court. I agree that the wife’s share of marital assets was too low and that the division should not have been reduced below 50-50. If the pension plans are both eligible for a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO), then that is a suitable means for redressing the asset imbalance. If the pension plans are not eligible for a QDRO, then some alternative method should be used to equalize the asset division, such as a lump sum alimony award.
