Verified current as of July 31, 2026

This form asks the court to join an employee benefit plan (like a pension or retirement account) as a party to a family law case so the plan can be included in property division orders. Spouses or ex-spouses use this form during divorce or separation proceedings to ensure retirement benefits and other employee plans are properly divided and that the plan administrator receives official court orders about how to split those assets.
