Legal Experts
Retirement benefits are often the largest assets owned by divorcing parties, so their proper division is essential. Dividing retirement plans requires not only understanding how a particular plan is divided, but a working knowledge of applicable state and federal statutes, case law, and regulations. Moreover, the orders themselves are legal documents which must be entered with the court. Unlike some other QDRO companies, our orders are prepared or reviewed by attorneys with extensive experience in this specialized area of law.
More than “Drafters”
In many cases, the divorce judgment or settlement agreement includes provisions that are prohibited by law or plan policy, does not address matters that must be resolved before the order is prepared, or that divides a retirement plan in a way that may result in an outcome that was not anticipated. We identify and thoroughly explain such issues so that parties and their legal counsel can make an informed decision on how to resolve them.
