Employee vs. Employer Contributions
401(k) accounts typically contain two funding streams:
- Employee contributions – Deductions from the participant’s own paycheck (always fully vested).
- Employer contributions – A match or discretionary deposit made by Liberty home mortgage corporation 401(k) plan.
While employee contributions belong entirely to the participant, employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule. This means that some of the employer-funded balance may not yet “belong” to the participant and therefore won’t be divisible in divorce unless already vested at the date of division.
