FAQ
Retirement Assets and Your Divorce The state of Ohio uses the equitable distribution principle. With that, all marital property is divided fairly, not necessarily equally. Retirement accounts qualify as marital property, especially if they were acquired during the marriage.
To divide an IRA or other retirement accounts, the courts will often use a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). This legal order allows one spouse to receive a portion of the other spouse's retirement assets without incurring a tax penalty, which would normally happen with early withdrawal.
In most cases, the court will divide your pension by using either a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) or a Division of Property Order (DOPO), depending on the type of pension. However, pensions can be used to offset against other marital property, instead of being divided in the future.
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).
Your benefit as a divorced spouse is equal to one-half of your ex-spouse's full retirement amount (or disability benefit) if you start receiving benefits at your full retirement age. The benefits do not include any delayed retirement credits your ex-spouse may receive.
If you are a California public employee whose long term or short term disability benefits have been denied, the ERISA Law Center will fight for you to get the benefits to which you are entitled.
When facing a divorce, your spouse will generally be entitled to some of your pension. However, how much your spouse will receive varies, as the laws governing pensions in divorce settlements vary by state. If you have a pension and are getting a divorce, you can still do things to protect your financial interests.
To get a divorce in Ohio, you will need to file a set of forms and then go through the divorce hearing process. The whole divorce process takes at least 4 months and up to 2 years when there are children involved. This page will help you file the forms you need to get the process started.
