Always Account for Vesting Schedules
The Profit sharing/401(k) Plan and Trust for Employees of Welbro Building Corporation likely includes employer matching or profit-sharing contributions. These employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule, meaning some of the account balance isn’t fully owned by the employee until they’ve worked a certain number of years.
When writing the QDRO, unvested amounts must be identified and excluded unless specifically negotiated otherwise in the divorce. It’s easy to overestimate the value of what’s actually available to divide if this is overlooked.
