401(k) Intimidation?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-06-03 AT 11:20AM (CST)[/font][p]Well, I thought I had seen it all and today just goes to show I haven't. Need some help, please.

I have an ee who has enrolled in our 401(k) plan. She wants to designate her children as beneficiaries under the plan. Her husband has refused to sign the spousal consent permitting this and is demanding that she not participate in the plan at all. x:o I am told he is extremely controlling.

I have never encountered anything like this before. Any input would be deeply appreciated!

UPDATE: Think I got my answer. Disregard, folks. Thanks! x:-)

so what was the answer??

She has two options: (1) If your plan requires spousal consent signoff, she can return his signed form, notarized, or (2) She can divorce the controlling husband and select her beneficiary freely. Was there an option I missed?
