Employee vs. Employer Contributions
In a QDRO, you can divide only what’s considered marital property. Employee contributions are easy to trace based on payroll dates. Employer contributions are trickier, especially if they come with a vesting schedule. The QDRO must address what happens with unvested amounts and determine how much of the employer match the former spouse should receive, if any. Many plans, including the Rossetti Retirement Savings Plan, may have forfeiture provisions for unvested employer funds.
