When would I be entitled to receive any of my husband's pension benefits if we divorced?

Lisa from Reston, Virginia asks, "When would I be entitled to receive any of my husband's pension benefits if we divorced?"

Pension Evaluators & QDROS Of Troyan, Inc Associates Group answers, "Generally, pensions are divided at the time of divorce under what's called a "qualified domestic relations order" (QDRO). This is a legal document that directs the pension plan administrator to divide the pension as outlined in the divorce decree. QDROs can be prepared in a variety of different ways, as long as they comply with the company's pension plan guidelines and conform with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The non-participant spouse is usually entitled to the same rights under the plan as the participant spouse, such as cost-of-living adjustments and early withdrawal options, and is eligible to receive benefits payments as soon as the ex-spouse is entitled to receive them."
