You don't "attach" a 401K. Generally speaking, those assets that accumulate during the course of the marriage are considered marital assets that are subject to distribution based on state laws when the couple divorces. Those assets that each person brings into the marriage remain theirs when they leave the marriage. So, the value of the 401K at the time of your marriage is the value to which your husband will have sole title. The increased value of that 401K during the time you are married is the amount subject to distribution when you divorce. If you are married for one year, odds are that 401K will not be worth a great deal more than it was when you married. The longer you are married, the more time for potential growth in the account. Just because you marry the guy doesn't mean you have a right to everything he had before he met you. So if that's the reason you married him....Ha, ha!
