What is a QDRO and what does it do?

A QDRO, or Qualified Domestic Relations Order, is a court order used to divide certain types of retirement plans - like 401(k)s or pensions - during divorce or legal separation. It allows a spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent to receive a portion of the plan participant's retirement benefits without triggering early withdrawal penalties or violating plan rules. 

​

A QDRO is issued by a state court as part of a divorce, child support, or alimony proceeding. 

​

It applies only to ERISA-qualified plans, such as 401(k), 403(b), and pensions. It does not apply to IRAs.

​

A QDRO specifies the names and addresses of the plan participant and the alternate payee, the amount or percentage of the plan that will be paid to the alternate payee, and the duration and method of the payment.

​

Once a QDRO is in place, the alternate payee is treated as if they were the plan participant. They can roll over their share into another retirement account, and taxes are only assessed on the recipient's portion.
