Dividing retirement assets can be a complex aspect of any divorce settlement, often necessitating the use of a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) alongside property settlements.

  • Identifying which retirement plans necessitate a QDRO;
  • The meticulous preparation and drafting of a QDRO;
  • Understanding the coverture fraction and its role in asset division;
  • Important case law precedents for effective representation;
  • Crucial tax considerations in retirement asset division;
