Divorce and the Facility Contract Services 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust: Understanding Your QDRO Options

Dividing retirement benefits in divorce can be one of the trickiest parts of the process—especially when it involves a 401(k) plan like the Facility Contract Services 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust. If you or your spouse is a participant, you’ll need a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) to properly split the account.

A QDRO is a court order that lets retirement plans like 401(k)s legally pay a share of benefits to someone other than the worker—typically a former spouse. Without a QDRO, the plan cannot make those payments, even if your divorce agreement says it should.

Before you move forward with a QDRO, it’s important to understand some background about this specific retirement plan. Here’s what we know about the Facility Contract Services 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust:

• Plan Name: Facility Contract Services 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust
• Sponsor: Unknown sponsor
• Address: 8300 S PALM DR
• Plan Type: 401(k) with Profit Sharing Component
• Industry: General Business
• Organization Type: Business Entity

• EIN and Plan Number: Required for QDRO submission but currently unknown—this info is typically provided by the plan administrator
• Participants and Plan Year: Unknown
• Effective Dates: 2014-01-01 to 2024-12-31

Regardless of what’s publicly available, the plan administrator will have what you need. If you’re getting divorced, you or your attorney should request the plan’s QDRO procedures directly from the administrator.

A QDRO for this plan will need to meet both federal retirement law (ERISA) and the plan’s internal guidelines. Here’s how that usually breaks down:

At PeacockQDROs, we’ve completed many QDROs from start to finish. That means we don’t just draft the order and leave you to figure out the rest. We handle the drafting, preapproval (if applicable), court filing, submission, and follow-up with the plan administrator. That’s what sets us apart from firms that only prepare the document and hand it off to you.

Here’s what we recommend for this specific plan:

• Get the Plan’s QDRO Guidelines: Request them directly from the plan administrator to avoid rejection.
• Address All Contribution Types: Be explicit about employee vs. employer, Roth vs. traditional.
• Call Out Loan Balances: Don’t leave this open to interpretation. Clarify whether the alternate payee’s share includes or excludes outstanding loans.
• Use the Right Language: ERISA plans like this one often have specific phrasing they prefer. Using that can speed up approval.
