What is a QDRO

A QDRO is a qualified domestic relations order – a court order that is drafted for the purpose of dividing the account of the retirement plan participant and assigning a portion of their benefit awarded to a former spouse, a child, or dependent. A QDRO is often necessary to enforce the award.

What if the retirement plan in question is from the military or civil service?

If the retirement plan in question is offered through the military or civil service, you cannot receive your former spouse’s interest in the retirement benefit that was awarded to you without a QDRO or similar court order. The QDRO must state with particular detail how the retirement benefit is divided and must be consistent with the terms of the retirement plan itself.
