As a general rule, any value accumulated in a retirement account or plan during the parties’ marriage is considered community property. As an example, if the parties are married for 15 years and the retirement has been amassed over 20 years, 75% of the retirement account would be community property. The non participating spouse would be entitled to 37.5% of the value of the pension as of the time of divorce.

The two primary types of pensions are defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Under a defined benefit plan, the pension is defined by a formula and usually payable as a monthly annuity until the participant’s death. In a defined contribution plan, the individual’s pension is in the form of an individual account balance. A common type of defined contribution plan is a 401(k). Under such a plan, employees may defer compensation, and the employer makes a contribution to the plan on the employee’s behalf. These contributions are excluded from the employee’s gross income in the year they are made and are not subject to taxation until distributed to the employee, usually at normal retirement age. If the employee terminates before normal retirement age, he or she may take the distribution as early as the plan’s earliest retirement age. However, the distribution is subject to a 10 percent penalty, as well as taxes, if taken before age 55, unless the employee is disabled (as defined in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) §72(m)(7)).
