Re: court order pension money

If your decree order a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (commonly abbreviated to QDRO) then all you have to do is write a QDRO that conforms to the law (fairly simple) and the pension company's policies (generally fairly straightforward). There is nothing you have to have a lawyer to do for you, a major advantage that a lawyer will have is he/she will have some previously prepared QDROs that they can refer to, so that only details have to be worked and worded out. There is no mandatory form for QDRO.
