Beth A. Stotzky

Beth handled my divorce case. My ex-wife (unrepresented, unemployed and 15 years housewife) wanted half of my general motors personal savings plan, a form of a 401k. I went to Beth, stating as such, and she told me that my ex wife was not entitled to it, the QDRO didn't apply because it was not a "pe...nsion" plan. After going back to Ms. Stotzky about it at my ex's persistence (Stotzky maintained she was not entitled), it ended up in the hands of the judge, who awarded her half. My issue is that Ms. Stotzky knew full well what the PSP was and that my ex-wife was entitled after so many years representing UAW/GM workers. There's no way she could not and if my ex-wife had not persisted with the issue, I wouldn't have had to give her a dime. And further, even if it wasn't a retirement account, it was still a marital asset and Ms. Stotzky knew it was to be divided equally. I was not trying to screw my ex. I was just following the advice of a so-called expert.
