Qualified Domestic Relations Orders

Palm Beach QDRO Attorney

Understanding QDROs in Divorce Proceedings

During a divorce, the last thing you want to worry about is the division of your retirement plan or pension. Federal tax law allows you to make a one-time, tax-free transfer of funds from your retirement account or pension to be paid to your spouse in connection with a divorce settlement. This process requires a court order known as a "qualified domestic relations order" or "QDRO."

Professional QDRO Drafting by Palm Beach Attorneys

Qualified domestic relations orders involve drafting and getting court approval and signing of an Order which allows for all or a portion of a qualified retirement or pension plan to be assigned tax-free from one spouse to another in connection with a divorce settlement.

If the Order meets all of the requirements of Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code, there is no tax imposed on the withdrawal and transfer of the funds from the 401(k) or IRA to the other spouse, as is normally the case when funds are withdrawn from a 401(k) or IRA. Many times, divorce lawyers do not feel comfortable drafting this Order since it is a creature of the federal tax code. Therefore, they look to engage a tax attorney to handle this work.
