Employee and Employer Contribution Division
This plan, like most general business 401(k)s, likely includes both employee deferrals and employer match or profit-sharing contributions. Employee contributions are always 100% vested, but employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule. If your former spouse leaves the company before they are fully vested, a portion of the employer contributions might be forfeited. A well-drafted QDRO will reflect that condition and offer guidance on what happens to those unvested amounts.
