Re: Court Oder
If your final judgment of divorce gives you half of your former husband's pension then you have a
Court Order giving you half of his pension.

Hi,
You should have a Judgment of Divorce. However, you need to have a QDRO, Qualified Domestic Relation Order signed by the Judge and then filed with the pension administrator. I would suggest that you immediately seek the services of an attorney to help you file the QDRO.

I would have to look at your divorce order. Feel free to fax it to my office or call my office and read it to me. I will then give you my opinion as to what you should get and how you should get it.
