I would like to be able to move some money to an IRA but keep some of it in the 401k.” Yes, from a tax standpoint, you are allowed to roll over a portion of your 401(k) while keeping the rest of it in place.
You can use an IRA rollover to move just a portion of your funds from one IRA to another or to roll over part of a QRP to an IRA. Although you can opt for a rollover at any age, there are a couple of age targets to keep in mind. You can begin taking IRA distributions after turning age 59½.

The correct way to divide IRA funds in compliance with a divorce decree is to do a trustee-to-trustee transfer (a direct transfer) of the IRA funds, moving them directly from one spouse’s IRA to the other spouse’s account.

What’s the penalty for early withdrawal from an IRA?
If it happens before age 59½, though, the account owner will probably incur a 10% early- withdrawal penalty in addition to income taxes. The taxes and penalty amount also depend on the tax-deductibility of the contributions (determined by whether the account owner also has an employer-sponsored retirement plan).
Can a traditional IRA be converted to a Roth IRA?
