1. Employee and Employer Contribution Breakdown
The Idylwilde Farm Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust likely includes both employee deferrals and employer contributions. This matters because:
- Employee contributions are 100% owned by the participant and are always included in the marital estate.
- Employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule, meaning only a portion may be divided depending on employment duration.
In your QDRO, it’s essential to specify whether the award includes just the vested balance as of a certain date or continues to include earnings and future vesting.
