Is my wife entitled to half my 401 at date of separation or until we actually get divorced. How about savings and checking? And what is the easiest way to acquire a criminal report in nc. Thanks.
Your wife is entitled to one-half of the value of the 401(k) that accumulated during the marriage (from the date of marriage to the date of separation), plus any passive increases based on this amount.
Your wife is entitled to one-half of the checking and savings accounts.
The clerk of court’s office can usually assist with NC criminal record checks. Note there is a fee for these.
