I personally think its fair for no penalty to be assessed on funds that are being withdrawn due to divorce, and fair that regular taxes are due on those funds if fully withdrawn.
Thank you for being up front and honest.
I don't care if the person holding the original 401k is a man or a woman either
We both know it is LIKELY to be a woman....
I think that its silly to be stomping around saying that if one person ends up with a penalty free withdrawal, that the other person should be able to withdraw the other percentage of the funds penalty free too.....
Oh really? My point is that if ONE person gets a penaly free withdrawl, they BOTH DO!!
because the other person should be doing their level best to keep the rest of their 401k intact.
The "other" person being the person who generated the 401k to begin with?? That's the person you are advocating screwing??
Again, that's my opinion no matter the gender of the person originally holding the 401k.
