Receive sample divorce judgment language (Word Document)

The divorce judgment awards the former spouse an interest AND the QDRO facilitates the ability for the plan to pay benefits directly to the that former spouse. These are separate documents. You can prepare the QDRO at any time but if possible it is best to draft the QDRO before you finalize the divorce judgment language (1) to protect against any issues that may arise before the divorce is final and (2) to protect the former spouse’s interest in the plan. The former spouse’s interest in the plan is not secured until the QDRO is completed.
