Different Types of Contributions
401(k) accounts typically consist of both employee contributions and employer contributions. When dividing the Chrysalis House Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust in a divorce, it’s essential to distinguish between these components:
- Employee Contributions: These are always fully vested and 100% divisible under a QDRO based on your chosen marital cut-off date.
- Employer Contributions: These may be subject to a vesting schedule. Unvested portions are not divisible. If your spouse leaves the company shortly after the divorce, some unvested amounts could be forfeited entirely.
