Methods:

Coverture Fraction Isolation Method

This method creates a fraction of total years in the plan through the account balance as of the End of Marriage Date over the total martial years contributing to the plan. A fraction is created and run against that balance. This method creates the actuarial reduction to marital / community value based on the length of plan contribution to the End of Marriage Date. In other words, that account balance is multiplied by the coverture fraction to determine the value of the account for marital / community property. In sum the coverture fraction isolation method is based on time sensitive calculations which are applied to the account balance as of the End of Marriage Date, creating the coverture fraction to that balance. The result is the value of the account for Marital / Community Property. Required is account balance as of the end of marriage date.
