1. Employee and Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) plans, including the Lift Power, Inc.. Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan, involve a combination of employee salary deferrals and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions. Not all of these funds may be considered marital property, depending on when they were contributed.
We typically recommend dividing only the “marital portion” of the account—meaning contributions made and earnings accrued during the marriage. If you’re dividing both employee and employer contributions, the QDRO should clearly identify how each portion is to be treated.
