1. Employee and Employer Contributions
The Striveworks, Inc.. 401(k) Plan likely includes both employee deferrals and employer contributions such as matching. Under most QDROs, only contributions made during the marriage are subject to division. The alternate payee is typically entitled to a portion of those marital assets.
Employer contributions are often subject to a vesting schedule — it’s critical to know whether all or only a portion of those funds are vested at the time of divorce. Amounts that aren’t vested may be forfeited and not payable under the QDRO.
