Employee and Employer Contributions
In a plan like the Capital Excavation Company 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, both employee salary deferrals and employer matching contributions may be included. Determining how these contributions should be divided—especially when some may have been made before marriage or after separation—can be complicated. It’s vital to clarify:
- What portion of the account was earned during the marriage
- Whether the court allocated specific percentages to each party
- Whether to use a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the account
