Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about QDROs and our services.
What is a QDRO and when do I need one?
A QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) is a legal order required to divide retirement accounts like 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and pensions during divorce. You need one whenever you're dividing qualified retirement plans as part of your divorce settlement.
How long does the QDRO process take?
With our service, you'll receive your draft QDRO within 48 hours. The complete process, including court approval and plan administrator acceptance, typically takes 30-60 days depending on court schedules and plan responsiveness.
What happens if my QDRO is rejected?
Our 98% first-submission approval rate means rejection is rare. However, if it happens, we provide unlimited revisions at no additional cost until your QDRO is approved (for Full-Service packages).
Can I do a QDRO myself without professional help?
While technically possible, QDROs require specific legal language that varies by plan. One mistake can result in rejection, delays, or loss of benefits. Professional assistance ensures accuracy and protects your rights.
Are IRAs divided through QDROs?
No, IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts) are not subject to QDRO requirements. They can be divided directly through the divorce decree. However, proper language is still crucial to avoid tax penalties.
What information do I need to get started?
You'll need your divorce decree (or draft settlement agreement), recent retirement account statements, and the plan's summary plan description. We'll guide you through gathering any additional required documents.
