Question

My divorce was final in 2010. My ex-husband and I did not split our 401K accounts and I recently requested the judge to order it to be done, once and for all. I have split my account balance as of the date of divorce and including the gains on that money to date to give to my ex-husband. He is refusing and saying I only get half of his account on the date of divorce and no more. Is it correct that he would make (and keep) the gains from the money he's owed me since 2010?

Answer

If the community portion of these monies grew in value, you are entitled to that growth. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney who can assist you on returning to court to enforce these provisions in your agreement.
