401K withdraw without spouses consent

I am amrried to a women who is currently the Respondent to a no-contact order. She has been charged with domestic violence and a trial is pending. As a direct result of her actions and after a no-contact order was issued, I lost my job. I have no idea where she is but, I do know that even though she was ordered to remain in Florida, she fled the State.

Because I lost my job and need money to pay my bills, I am in dire need of some of my money. I will face eviction without this money. I have no way to contact her and woulodn't know how if I could. She has turned off her phone. My plan requires spousal approval. What can I do to get money that I am dire need of.

Answer 1/1 - Submitted 1/17/2011

Under the circumstances, you'll need a court order to force the administrator to allow a single signature approval. Since Florida is not a community property state, there is no reason to believe she would get half of the retirement plan is a settlement. Coupled with the fact that she has fled the jurisdiction of the court, chances are an attorney can get the process done in a relatively quick time.
