It’s funny in a sense that the people who should be most experienced with Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs), many divorce attorneys, don’t seem to know how to draft a QDRO. They try to seek guidance from the folks who have the least amount of information about them: plan sponsors.
Rather than bothering your third-party administrator or an ERISA attorney, who might charge you for one, get a sample QDRO to get the ball rolling for the divorce attorney, the payee, and the alternate payee. If you need a sample QDRO, contact me, no charge.
