Immature Pension

A pension that is not yet fully vested, i.e., at the time of divorce, the employee spouse cannot yet begin receiving payments from the pension. It is also possible that they never will qualify to receive benefits from the pension. An immature is still divisible in a divorce. The Court may order the employee spouse to make a lump sum payout to the nonemployee spouse at the time of the divorce, or the Court can determine how it will divide the account when it matures and reserve jurisdiction to divide the account when the pension matures.
