QDRO
Qualified Domestic Relations Order Services in Tucson, AZ
Dividing retirement assets during divorce can be complex. Our Tucson-based paralegal service specializes in preparing Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs), ensuring your interests are protected and the process is handled efficiently.
What Is a QDRO?
A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is a court order used in divorce or legal separation to divide retirement plan benefits between spouses, former spouses, children, or other dependents. It legally recognizes the right of an “alternate payee” (such as a former spouse) to receive a portion of the participant’s retirement plan benefits. QDROs can also be used to fulfill child support or alimony obligations.
Why You Need a QDRO in Arizona?
Avoid Costly Mistakes
Without a QDRO, transferring retirement assets can trigger taxes and penalties for the account holder.
Ensure Compliance
Arizona courts require QDROs to meet both state and federal standards, and plan administrators review each order for accuracy and compliance.
Protect Your Rights
A properly drafted QDRO ensures you receive your fair share of retirement assets, whether you are the plan participant or the alternate payee.
