Legal Question in Family Law in California

I have to get a QDRO for both my retirement and my husband's. Are all QDRO's done the same way or should you pick a person to do the QDRO that will be more sympathetic to you versus your partner? In other words, if you pick the right person, could you come out financially ahead?

That will save you time, when you have the QDRO issued and find that the pension won't accept it. In fact, you might check with the pension, first, about whether it has a form that it likes.
