How long does it take to get half of your ex husbands 401k?

The time it takes to receive half of your ex-husband's 401(k) can vary based on several factors, including the legal process and the specific terms of your divorce decree. Typically, you would need a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), which can take weeks to months to obtain and process. Once the QDRO is finalized, the 401(k) plan administrator will implement the transfer, which may take additional time. Overall, the entire process could take several months to over a year, depending on the circumstances.
