Contact your ex to see if they filed a QDRO If you and your ex-spouse had a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) drafted as part of your divorce settlement, it is important to make sure that it was filed with the appropriate court or retirement plan administrator.
While you can file a QDRO yourself, it involves precise legal language and compliance with plan rules. Many choose to hire an attorney or use a specialist to avoid errors that could delay processing. Check your plans requirements and deadlines carefully.
A spouse or former spouse who receives QDRO benefits from a retirement plan reports the payments received as if he or she were a plan participant. The spouse or former spouse is allocated a share of the participants cost (investment in the contract) equal to the cost times a fraction.
Determining who is responsible for filing a QDRO is a critical step in the divorce process, especially when retirement assets are involved. The alternate payee, typically the spouse who will receive a portion of the retirement benefits, is generally responsible for initiating the QDRO.
Its crucial to understand that the plan administrator can reject a QDRO. This often occurs if the QDRO does not meet the specific requirements of the retirement plan or if it contradicts federal regulations governing retirement plans.

A QDRO is required only for retirement plans sponsored by private employers, such as a company or non-profit. This includes plans such as 401(k) accounts, 403(b) plans, and private employee pension plans. Individual retirement accounts that are not employer sponsored dont need one.
