Protecting Your Share of the Paragon Packaging 401(k) Plan: QDRO Best Practices

Dividing a 401(k) plan during divorce can feel confusing. Between understanding contribution types, figuring out what’s vested, and handling plan loans, there’s a lot to get right. If you or your spouse has a retirement account under the Paragon Packaging 401(k) Plan, it’s important to understand how that account can be divided using a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO).

At PeacockQDROs, we’ve completed many QDROs from start to finish. That means we don’t just draft the order and walk away — we handle everything from preapproval to follow-up with the plan administrator. Here’s what you need to know to ensure your share of the Paragon Packaging 401(k) Plan is protected during divorce.

Before preparing a QDRO, it’s crucial to gather specifics about the particular plan being divided. Here’s what we know about the Paragon Packaging 401(k) Plan:

• Plan Name: Paragon Packaging 401(k) Plan
• Sponsor: Unknown sponsor
• Address: 20250721095148NAL0003305858001, 2024-01-01
• EIN: Unknown
• Plan Number: Unknown
• Industry: General Business
• Organization Type: Business Entity
• Participants: Unknown
• Plan Year: Unknown to Unknown
• Effective Date: Unknown
• Status: Active
• Assets: Unknown

Since some of this plan information is missing or unknown, a copy of the Summary Plan Description (SPD) or contacting the plan administrator directly will be necessary to complete the QDRO properly. Still, we can prepare for the most important areas likely to impact your division.

To divide the Paragon Packaging 401(k) Plan, you will need:

• Legal names and last known addresses of both parties
• A certified copy of your divorce decree
• The plan’s name: Paragon Packaging 401(k) Plan
• The plan sponsor’s name: Unknown sponsor
• The EIN of the plan (you’ll likely need to request this from the plan administrator)
• The plan number (also obtained from HR or plan documents)

Note: Because the plan sponsor and key identifiers are currently unknown, it helps to request a Participant Statement or Summary Plan Description from the employer directly. These usually list the necessary numbers and administrative contacts.

At PeacockQDROs, we handle the entire process from start to finish:

• We draft your QDRO
• We submit it for preapproval (if the plan allows)
• We file it with the court
• We send it to the plan administrator
• We follow up until it’s implemented

This full-service approach sets us apart. Many firms just draft the QDRO and hand it off, leaving you stuck sorting through plan rejections on your own. We don’t work that way — we follow through all the way to successful division.

We also maintain near-perfect reviews and have a long track record of doing things the right way. Divorce is hard enough. Let us make at least this part easier.
