What Is A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (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.
