There is no requirement that your lawyer must handle the QDRO--any lawyer may do so. There are no explicit time limitations in submitting or finalizing your QDRO. However, you may run into difficulty, or perhaps even be barred by the court, if there is a substantial delay that has an adverse impact on the other party or on the pension plan.
