QDRO Drafting

QDRO drafting involves creating a legal document called a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, which is used to divide retirement benefits, like pensions, between spouses after a divorce. The draft must carefully specify how much of the retirement account each party receives, ensure compliance with federal and plan-specific rules, and protect both parties' rights. It requires precise language to avoid delays or disputes when implementing the division. Essentially, it's a detailed legal directive that ensures a fair and enforceable transfer of retirement assets in accordance with the divorce agreement.
