Legal Question in Family Law in California
Dissolution judgement was made on divorce. Under retirement benefits verbiage indicates parties do not intend for this agreement to assign to either party any interest in benefits to which one is entitled. The court shall reserve jurisdiction to determine...Until a further notice is obtained, neither party shall make or accept any election or take any action that might affect community interest without written consent or future court order. Parties intend on QDRO. Does this mean husband cannot file for his pension until a judge is seen? Wife agreed she does not want any pension funds, but it appears that's not the case based on the verbiage?

That is correct. The Court appears to have retained jurisdiction to divide Husband's pension at some future time. Apparently the agreement with spouse regarding Husband's pension was not clear to the Court.
