Qualified Domestic Relations Orders

When dividing retirement assets, Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QRDO’s) are used to give a portion of these assets to your former spouse after your divorce is final. Dishon & Block has experience utilizing QDRO's for a variety of reasons but generally limited to three main areas: dividing retirement plans as marital property, for purposes of paying alimony, and paying child support or child support arrearages.

Carrie Block, Partner, has the experience and knowledge required to execute QDRO’s for a variety of situations. Her ability to draft and formulate these documents significantly reduces the amount of time required to file these orders. By reducing the time needed to file QRDO’s, we can often save you money and reduce the stress of dealing with the financial impact of divorce. Learn more about Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.
