Employee and Employer Contributions
401(k) plans usually include both employee deferrals and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions. In the case of the Team Finish Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust, it’s likely that both are present. The QDRO must clearly identify which types of contributions the alternate payee is entitled to share in.
It’s common for spouses to agree to divide only the “marital portion”—the value that accrued during the marriage. In some cases, this will involve calculating the growth and losses on those contributions during the marriage timeframe. This can be complex, but it’s critical for fairness.
