Washington wife awarded $328,715 from ex-husband’s 401(k), not cash

In a landmark ruling, a Washington court awarded a woman $328,715.53 from her husband’s retirement funds. She raised concerns over tax consequences and financial liquidity, but the court upheld the arrangement, taking into account their financial situation and the duration of their marriage. Moreover, her requests for spousal support and legal fees were dismissed, a decision confirmed by the appellate court which maintained the original settlement.
