Equal distribution of pension was part of divorce. My ex and I are now retired. What are my options to have this executed

To divide the pension, it may be necessary to prepare a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is a court order that directs the administrator of a pension or other retirement asset to distribute a portion of the account to another party following the dissolution of a marriage.  The QDRO must be signed by a Judge.  Prior to submitting the QDRO to the Judge for signature, it is often helpful to submit the draft QDRO to the Plan Administrator of the pension plan to ascertain whether or not the Plan can effectuate the QDRO as written or if they require edits to the QDRO.  QDROs can be complex.  If you are concerned about the sharing of the retirement plan, the skilled family attorneys at Weinberger Law Group can advise you on what you can expect and how to best proceed.  Contact Weinberger Law Group to schedule your free initial consultation.
