![]() How do I know how much of my 401k is marital and how much is non-marital? To begin this analysis, you will need to gather your account statements. Specifically, the statement that shows the account balance at on the date of marriage and the statement on the date your divorce was filed. Once you have these two important documents, you will want to contact an experience divorce attorney to help you with the calculation. In the end, the balance on the date your marriage is considered non-marital. You are also entitled to receive any return on that amount based on market activity. When you have calculated the amount of return on your non-marital portion, then you subtract the non-marital portion from the balance at the time of filing for divorce. These calculations can get tricky so it is important that you speak with an attorney who can guide you through this process. Remember you are not alone.
