Spousal Support from pensions and retirement plans (with a QDRO)

This category concerns how divorcing spouses can divide assets held in pensions or retirement plans, using a formal Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). This includes both establishing the division during the divorce, or afterward when an ex-spouse is not receiving required support payments. The category covers when a judge can issue a QDRO to collect delinquent support, and which kinds of retirement funds can be subjected to QDRO.
