Qualified Domestic Relations Orders - QDRO

Many individuals have questions about the division of retirement accounts in a divorce. If one spouse wants to claim his or her share of the spouse's retirement account, a qualified domestic relations order must be produced. This order allows for the division of ownership of a retirement plan.

Understanding the various ways in which retirement accounts are divided according to a QDRO - from pensions and 401k's to IRAs - can be complex. We are able to explain the requirements of each specific retirement plan, and help you protect your rights to your husband or wife's retirement benefits.
