Employee vs. Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) plans, including the Lotte Global Logistics (north America) Inc.. 401(k) Plan, consist of two kinds of contributions: those made by the employee (just from their paycheck) and those made by the employer (often through matching or discretionary bonuses). When dividing this plan through a QDRO, it’s crucial to distinguish between the two.
Typically, only the amounts contributed—and the gains or losses on them—during the marriage are divisible. Contributions made before or after the marriage may be excluded, depending on your divorce settlement and local laws. A well-drafted QDRO will capture only the marital portion (if that’s your goal).
