Overview of a Connecticut QDRO and Dividing Connecticut Retirement Accounts

In Connecticut, vested pensions are marital property. Vesting means that the worker spouse has met all the requirements for receipt of the pension. Unvested pensions are not marital property. Until the pension has vested, the worker spouse has only an expectancy of interest in the pension. 


Courts consider a pension as an asset subject to distribution, so a spouse may get a share of the pension, or other assets to offset the value of his or her spouse’s pension.
