It can probably still be divided, however, you should have your judgment and all facts reveiwed by an attorney who can give you sound advice rather than just a probably. It is unlikely that any non-attorney could file the motion and prepare the order dividing the plan. Most attorneys hire outside attorneys to prepare orders to divide a retirement plan.
