The way to split up the 401(k) is to have a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). This instructs your company to disburse a portion of your 401(k) to an "alternate payee."
A QDRO would be the means to split your 401(k). I work in retirement consulting and we deal with QDROs on the pension side. If you are splitting your 401(k), are you also splitting her retirement benefit? I am assuming since she is a nurse she might not have a 401(k) but rather a different type of plan?
