No. There is no time limit. However, I had a case where the wife waited several years before preparing and filing the QDRO. During that period of time, the husband removed the money and refused to divulge its location. My client had to commence an action. The one issue that we may have had - which we did not - was a statute of limitations problem. Thankfully, we were able to avoid that issue.
