Who should prepare the QDRO?
Retirement plans and the rules governing them are complex and constantly changing. There are a variety of plans, each containing its own specific requirements and unique features. For a QDRO to be valid, it must meet specific requirements under the law and must be specifically tailored to the particular retirement plan. Although the need for QDRO’s arises out of a dissolution or separation, many family law attorneys refer their clients to an attorney specializing in drafting QDRO’s to ensure accuracy, reduce risk, and minimize cost.
