Los Angeles QDRO FAQs
Once a filed QDRO is sent to the Plan Administrator of your plan (401K, IRA, Pension, etc). The Plan Administrator determines the portion of the account that belongs to the Alternate Payee (ex-Spouse).
A QDRO is a document that gets filed with the court. It is a court order that directs your plan administrator to make pre-tax distributions to an ex-spouse (alternate payee) following a divorce.
The QDRO fees are typically shared between the Participant and Alternate Payee, but that isn’t always the case. Either party can pay our fees.
Laguna Legal will take care of the preparation and filing of your Los Angeles QDRO.
