FAQ

Generally you need to join the 401K plan in your divorce rand get a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) to divide plan because if you invested in the plan during marriage your spouse has a Community Property Interest. If not, you will need to join the Plan to your divorce to divide it and get him removed.

Most courts will give a fair and equitable split (most times, 50/50) on all assets acquired after marriage. That includes the 401(k) for either of you but it could also depend on what the distribution of assets is. If she keeps all the equity in the house, you may keep all the 401(k).

You just have to do all of the forms, agree on division of assets, and both sign everything, then have it notarized, and file it all with the circuit court. You will get a court date and both have to appear, but as long as you agree on all the terms it should be a painless formality.

If the marriage includes no children and few assets, if you have lived in Arizona for at least 90 days, and if you believe your marriage is irretrievably broken, an uncontested divorce in Arizona may be granted in as little as 60 days (although this is rare).

Typically, a wife is entitled to half of the community property, potential spousal support, and any personal assets obtained before marriage or received as gifts.

You may be able to protect your retirement savings accounts from California's community property law by keeping them classified as separate property (in your name only). If you opened a 401K plan before your marriage, do not commingle it with your spouse.

There is no specific threshold for the length of a marriage that results in a 401(k) being divided equally. However, you will only get a share of the 401(k) contributions made during the marriage, since contributions made before marriage are considered separate properties of the spouse.

Generally, an ERISA plan participant can select just about anyone to be their beneficiary. Typically, a plan participant selects their spouse, children, or other family members.

ERISA covers general benefits that aid employees in the event of sickness, accident, disability, death, or unemployment.
