Proper division of retirement assets in a divorce is a crucial step in ensuring the future financial stability of participants. A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is required to transfer retirement assets from one spouse to the other without triggering early withdrawal penalties.

Most individuals and even some attorneys are unfamiliar with the intricacies of QDROs. Pollock Begg Partner Ashley M.
