Employee and Employer Contribution Divisions
In many divorces, each spouse is entitled to half of the marital portion of the retirement account. The marital portion often includes all employee contributions and vested employer contributions earned during the marriage. The tricky part? Many plans, including the Jaci Carroll Staffing 401(k) Plan, include both employer and employee contributions. Your QDRO must specify how each is to be dealt with.
Decide whether you want to divide a percentage of the account as of a certain valuation date (like the date of separation or divorce), or whether you want to split specific dollar amounts. Be very clear, as the QDRO will authorize the transfer.
