Should I get help preparing the QDRO?

Lauren from Dayton, OH asks, "Should I get help preparing the QDRO?"

Pension Evaluators & QDROS Of Troyan, Inc Associates Group answers, "If possible, you should talk to someone with expertise in preparing QDROs. QDROs are very technical documents and can be written more favorably to one party in the case. It can make a huge difference how the QDRO is written because the specific language will determine what you will receive or give up. Some things to get help with:

  • What specific formula will be used to calculate the retirement benefits for each party?
  • What is the time period that will be used in the formula – does it cover the time after the parties married or when the parties lived together before they married?
  • What is the survivor benefit and how it will be paid?
  • What is the cost of the survivor benefit and who will pay for it?
  • What happens to the alternate payee’s benefits upon his or her death?
  • Are there medical benefits available to alternate payees after the divorce or dissolution is final?"
