In a general sense, the plan has to be joined (called a joinder), and then you need will need either a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) or DRO (Domestic Relations Order), depending upon the individual plan. The sooner you get started the sooner the plan will have to pay you your community interest.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
