QDRO

(Qualified Domestic Relations Orders) 

Pronounced “Quadro,” a QDRO, short for Qualified Domestic Relations Order, is an order transferring assets in a divorce. This is most useful in the division of retirement accounts, where the account can be divided without a payout and the associated taxes. By using a QDRO, the recipient can place assets into a retirement account such as an IRA (individual retirement account) by way of a roll-over. This is done in accordance with IRS Publication 575, and the IRS website clearly states:

An individual may be able to roll over tax-free all or part of a distribution from a qualified retirement plan that he or she received under a QDRO. If a person receiving QDRO payments is either the employee's spouse or former spouse (not as a nonspousal beneficiary), then he or she can roll it over, just as if he or she were the employee receiving a plan distribution and choosing to roll it over.

This allows for easy transfer of assets in a divorce without taxes or penalties or a reduction in the amount received. Our firm handles QDROs and the division of retirement on a regular basis.
