Introduction
Dividing retirement benefits like those held in the Flogistix, Lp 401(k) Plan during a divorce requires careful planning and a legally compliant Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). It’s not just about splitting an account in half—there are specific rules around employer contributions, vesting schedules, loan balances, and Roth vs. traditional funds that must be considered.
At PeacockQDROs, we’ve completed thousands of QDROs from start to finish. That means we don’t just draft the order and leave you hanging—we handle the drafting, preapproval (if the plan accepts it), court filing, submission, and follow-up with the plan administrator. That’s what sets us apart from firms that only prepare the document and hand it off to you.
If you’re facing divorce and the Flogistix, Lp 401(k) Plan is part of the marital property, here’s what you need to know to protect your rights.

Understanding How 401(k) Plans Are Divided in Divorce
401(k) plans are defined contribution plans, meaning the value is based on how much was contributed, how it was invested, and how those investments have performed. Division via a QDRO must factor in those moving parts.
Employee and Employer Contributions
The Flogistix, Lp 401(k) Plan likely includes both employee contributions (always 100% vested) and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions (which may be subject to vesting rules). If the divorce occurs before the employee is fully vested, the alternate payee (usually the former spouse) may not be entitled to unvested employer funds.
It’s critical that the QDRO separates these properly. A common mistake is including unvested employer contributions, which the court can’t divide if they haven’t vested. Learn more about mistakes like this here.
Handling Vesting Schedules and Forfeitures
If the plan uses a graded or cliff vesting schedule, the QDRO must specify that the alternate payee only receives a share of the vested employer contributions as of the date of division (usually the separation date or divorce judgment date).
If not handled correctly, the alternate payee may be awarded funds that later revert to the plan due to non-vesting, creating delays and conflict.
Addressing Loan Balances
If the participant has an outstanding loan with the Flogistix, Lp 401(k) Plan, this affects the account’s net value. The QDRO must address whether loan balances are:
- Included in the marital property (as if the participant already “withdrew” the funds)
- Excluded from the marital account value to avoid unfair division
The approach depends on your state’s property laws and the specifics of the loan. We help clients design fair language for these scenarios.
Roth vs. Traditional Account Types
If the Flogistix, Lp 401(k) Plan includes both Roth 401(k) and traditional (pre-tax) funds, the QDRO must state how each account type is divided. Failing to do so could result in adverse tax consequences or confusion during distribution.
What matters most is keeping the tax treatment of each account type consistent. Roth funds should be allocated as Roth funds so the alternate payee preserves the tax-free growth; traditional funds must retain their pre-tax status unless rolled over or converted.
Drafting a QDRO for the Flogistix, Lp 401(k) Plan
Information You’ll Need
To draft a compliant and enforceable QDRO for the Flogistix, Lp 401(k) Plan, you’ll need:
- The official plan name: Flogistix, Lp 401(k) Plan
- The sponsor: Unknown sponsor (we help track additional information)
- Participant’s name and SSN (protected when filed)
- Alternate payee’s name and SSN
- Plan number and EIN (required for submission—let us help obtain them)
- Date of division (marital cutoff date)
How the QDRO Should Be Written
The QDRO must specify:
- The exact percentage or dollar amount awarded
- Whether gains and losses are included
- How to handle Roth and traditional funds
- Loan treatment
- The division of vested vs. unvested contributions
We also strongly recommend getting the QDRO preapproved (if the plan allows it) before submitting to the court. This avoids rejections, which can delay your divorce and final division. Read more about what affects timelines here.
Submitting and Implementing the QDRO
Once drafted and ideally preapproved, the QDRO must be signed by both parties and submitted to the court for the judge’s signature. Once entered, it’s sent to the plan administrator for review and implementation.
