Legal Question in Family Law in California
I am entitled to a percentage of my ex-husbands retirement fund. I ned to file a QDRO. I spoke to my former dicvorce attorney and he dosen't want to do this for me. I have very limited income, do you know of anyone on the San Francisco Peninsula that can heklp me with this. Also, what is a QDRO?
Thank you,

It is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. It is most commonly a court order to a pension or retirement fund to do certain things to effectuate a divorce order or judgment. Your attorney should have done that for you as part of your divorce judgment if the attorney handled that. If not, and you cannot afford an attorney, you should go see the Family Law Facilitator at your local Family Court.
