QDROs go into effect when a court filed QDRO is submitted to the plan administrator and they complete their administrative tasks.
A QDRO is filed under the same jurisdiction (Court house) your divorce was filed in.
There is no rule as to who should initiate a QDRO; either party can initiate the QDRO process.
There is no obligation for either of the parties to pay for the QDRO; it is common practice to split the cost between both parties.
A QDRO is a document qualified by the court instructing a pension plan administrator on how to divide a plan. Without a QDRO, the plan administrator will not distribute funds.
A QDRO is a court order that divides a retirement account when there is a divorce either by a percentage or a monetary figure award.
