Employee and Employer Contributions
Your QDRO must identify how much of the account belongs to each spouse. Typically, you divide only the portion earned during the marriage. This can include:
- Employee salary deferrals (traditional and Roth)
- Employer profit-sharing contributions
If employer contributions are subject to a vesting schedule—which is common—you may need to address what happens to unvested amounts. Some QDROs allow for a proportional share of contributions that become vested later; others freeze the value at the time of divorce. We can help you make the right call for your situation.
