Retirement Accounts
Dividing Retirement Accounts in Divorce
Under Texas law, the division of 401(k)s and other types of retirement accounts can be extremely difficult. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that federal law, in the form of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), also governs retirement accounts.
The conversation surrounding the division of these accounts often becomes heated, as retirement accounts are typically the largest or second largest asset — after the family home — a couple owns.
