Dividing the Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan in Divorce
When a marriage ends, dividing retirement assets is often one of the most complicated parts of the divorce process—especially when it comes to a 401(k) plan like the Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan. If you or your spouse has an account in this plan, understanding how to properly divide it through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is essential. A QDRO ensures that both parties receive their fair share while protecting the tax-deferred nature of the retirement account.
At PeacockQDROs, we’ve handled thousands of QDROs from start to finish. Unlike many firms that just draft the order, we manage the entire process—from drafting to preapproval (if allowed), court filing, submission, and follow-up with the plan provider. That support is crucial, especially for plans like the Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan that may have unique features such as vesting schedules, outstanding loan balances, and Roth subaccounts.
Plan-Specific Details for the Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan
Here’s what we know about the Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan:
- Plan Name: Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan
- Sponsor: Your express solutions LLC 401(k) plan
- Address: 20250718155338NAL0000958419001, 2024-01-01
- Employer Identification Number (EIN): Unknown (must be requested during QDRO process)
- Plan Number: Unknown (must be confirmed during QDRO process)
- Plan Type: 401(k) retirement plan
- Industry: General Business
- Organization Type: Business Entity
- Status: Active
Because some information—like the EIN and Plan Number—is missing, your QDRO provider will need to obtain the full plan details directly from the plan administrator or your divorce attorney. This is a routine part of the QDRO process and should be addressed early on to prevent delays.
Understanding QDROs for a 401(k) Plan
A Qualified Domestic Relations Order is a legal document required to divide a 401(k) plan in divorce. Without it, a division typically can’t be enforced, and the account owner may get hit with penalties or taxes for early withdrawal. The Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan is governed by ERISA and specific plan rules, so the QDRO must be tailored to fit those parameters.
What a QDRO Must Include
Every QDRO should clearly identify the plan name—here, it must use the exact title: “Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan.” It also must include:
- Names and mailing addresses of both the participant and alternate payee
- The plan’s full legal name and, ideally, the EIN and Plan Number
- The percentage or amount to be given to the alternate payee
- The date the division should be based on (usually date of separation or divorce)
- Provisions for how gains/losses will apply
Missing or vague information can cause a QDRO to be rejected by the plan administrator. That’s why working with an experienced QDRO firm is essential.
Key Considerations for the Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan
Employee vs. Employer Contributions
401(k) plans like this one often contain both types of contributions:
- Employee Contributions: These are always fully vested and can be divided through a QDRO.
- Employer Contributions: May be subject to a vesting schedule. That means some amounts might not be eligible for division unless the participant has fulfilled certain service requirements.
It’s important your QDRO specifies that you’re only dividing the vested portion—or clarifies that any future vesting may affect the alternate payee’s share.
Vesting Schedules
If the employee (the account holder) hasn’t worked long enough to be fully vested in employer contributions, part of the balance could be forfeited after divorce. The QDRO should make clear whether unvested amounts are included or excluded from the division.
Loan Balances
If the participant has taken out a loan from the Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan, this also affects what’s available for division:
- Most plans reduce the “divisible balance” by the outstanding loan amount.
- Some QDROs attempt to divide the full balance including a loan, but this requires explicit language and plan approval.
- Loans are typically the responsibility of the participant—not the alternate payee—even after divorce.
The QDRO should specify whether you’re dividing the account before or after subtracting any outstanding loan balance.
Roth vs. Traditional Accounts
The Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan may include:
- Traditional (pre-tax) contributions, where taxes are deferred
- Roth (after-tax) contributions, where taxes were already paid
The QDRO must clearly state whether the alternate payee is receiving amounts from the Roth portion, the traditional portion, or both. Mixing the two improperly can lead to tax confusion and rejected orders.
Timing and Process Tips
A well-drafted QDRO can take just a few weeks, but there are common bottlenecks. PeacockQDROs helps avoid these by managing each step:
- Contacting the plan administrator to get the correct forms and model language
- Drafting the QDRO with accurate, plan-specific terms
- Submitting for preapproval if the plan allows it (some 401(k)s do, some don’t)
- Filing with your family court for judicial approval
- Sending the signed order to the plan administrator for processing

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even seasoned attorneys can make mistakes if they’re not QDRO-focused. We see these all the time:
- Using the wrong plan name (must be exactly “Your Express Solutions LLC 401(k) Plan”)
- Failing to address vesting status or loan balances
- Confusing Roth and traditional holdings
- Omitting required plan numbers or participant data
