[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should hope he doesn’t get half of your 401k[/quote]

Why shouldn't he? [/quote]
[b]
NP- because he wasn't putting money in??

DH and I both work for the same employer. I put the max in yearly 23,500 and he puts about 15k in yearly. My 401k is thus a lot bigger than his. Why should dh get half of mine when he had the same opportunity to fund his own? [/quote]

Because that’s what the law says. You shouldn’t be maxing out if you think this is unfair.

I [b]think there are probably ways to argue that it is not 50-50 - like if one partner chose not to contribute to the 401k and spent all the money on themselves.[/b] But presumably the money not going into his 401k is going into joint expenses and joint assets. [/quote]

That’s not going to work.[/quote]

Sure it can. It’s equitable division in most states; which does not mean 50-50. That said I don’t think OP would be wise to go that route. [/quote]
