I (56m) am getting a divorce from my wife (56f) of 21 years. Long story. I just don't have the time to get into right now. Here in NY it's all no-fault anyway but some how I feel like I'm getting screwed over anyway. My question is, I am going to have to give the ex about $27,000 from an IRA, traditional, not Roth. Is there a way to do this with out taking a hit on taxes and penalties? Would like to here from you all but, I'm still going to have to call the company where the money is invested.
