Trained Retirement Order Preparers
A retirement account cannot be split without a valid order, so accurate preparation protects your share and keeps the plan from rejecting it.
Frequently Asked Questions
A qualified domestic relations order is a separate court order that tells a retirement plan how to divide an account between spouses. Federal law means a plan cannot pay a former spouse without one, even when the judgment already awards a share. If retirement was addressed in your divorce, we prepare the order that carries it out.
Employer plans covered by federal law, such as 401(k), 403(b), and pension plans, need a qualified order to divide. Government pensions like CalPERS and CalSTRS use a similar order under state rules, federal employees use a COAP, and military benefits follow their own process. IRAs usually divide through the judgment itself without a separate order.
Cost depends on the type of plan, how many accounts are divided, and whether the plan requires specific language or a review before signing. Plan and court fees are separate from preparation fees. Get a Free Consultation here.
Waiting is risky. If the employee spouse retires, remarries, or dies before the plan approves the order, part or all of the benefit can be lost. Preparing the order promptly after the judgment protects the share you were awarded, which is why we encourage handling it right away.
