More details to this question:
I am a Canadian citizen but reside in the US. I was recently divorced in Canada and as part of the separation agreement, my ex-spouse and I will be dividing our 401K. What do I need to do to have the judge approve the QDRO with a foreign divorce?

Dear Anonymous,
The answer is dependant on where the 401(k) is located. If it is in the US, then you will need to domesticate the divorce agreement. Once the agreement is domesticated, the court will have the ability to issue a QDRO. If you would like assistance, do not hesitate to contact my office.
