Do I need a QDRO to split a 401k?

While a QDRO is not required to split up assets in an IRA (traditional or Roth), you still need to make sure the split is done properly so no tax or penalties are incurred. The divorce decree itself must specify the division, including the amount and when it is to occur.

Any funds contributed to the 401(k) account during the marriage are marital property and subject to division during the divorce, unless there is a valid prenuptial agreement in place. For example, if your spouse also has a retirement account worth a similar amount, you may each decide to keep your own accounts.
