Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

In my Divorce Judgement I was awarded a percentage of my husband's 401(k) and my husband's lawyer entered a QDRO, but I was not present in court. How do get a copy of the QDRO? Do I need a lawyer to get the funds rolled over to my Rollover IRA account?

You may have to set up a Rollover IRA account to accept the funds.
