Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I went through a Divorce and Foreclosure all at the same time in the state of Fl. I was able to get a QDRO signed by the court and submitted to the Plan Administrator of a Halifax Pension Plan (DBP). The QDRO was submitted in April 2016, the QDRO is a Seperate Interest QDRO. The Participant's earliest retirement date was Oct 2014, and the QDRO said I can receive payment at their earliest retirement date. I sent three certified letters to the Plan Administrator with no responce. I'm in a Chapter 13 with very limited funds. What course of act can I take?

Was the plan ever accepted by the Plan Administrator. sounds like you sent a request for approval . QDROs must be approved by the Plan Administrator and then sent to the Judge for final signature. Afterwards, the QDRO MUST be followed. I would suspect that you did not do the request correctly and never got an approval from the Plan Administrator. If I am wrong and did all correctly, then you need to contact the Company and forward the Order to them and request compliance (certified mail return receipt). If they do not comply, then you need the Court to intervene.
