In a divorce, you are each entitled to 1/2 of the assets that have accrued during the marriage, and reponsible for 1/2 of the debts that accrued during the marriage. Whatever portion of your 401k that accrued during the marriage will be a marital asset, to be split, unless it can be exchanged for you keeping extra marital debt or exchanged for another marital asset.

Does this mean that the stbx husband is 'potentially' entitled to the portion of 401k that accrued during the marriage??
