Why do I need a QDRO?.

In family law, a QDRO relates to a specific order entered by the Court that creates or recognizes a right of a person (usually the former spouse), sometimes called the Alternate Payee, to receive all or a portion of the benefits payable to a participant of a pension, retirement, 401k, or other employee-benefit plan. The order must (a) be in the form of a judgment, decree, or order, (b) relate to the provision of child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights, (c) and is made pursuant to a state domestic relations law.
