Our mission at Divorce Solutions, LLC is to educate and empower the attorneys we work with. In other words, we are not interested in preparing cookie cutter Orders, but rather, we tailor each Order to the specific case at hand. We encourage attorneys to contact us by phone, (preferably before entering the final judgment) if you would like to discuss the specifics of your case and the potential impact of various QDRO clauses and present value issues, including the following:
- Discovery assistance
- Specific Plan Features (for the Plan you are dealing with)
- Judgment Language
- Defined Contribution Plan Issues (Loan Balances, Vesting, Delayed Contributions)
- Survivor Benefits: (and their impact on future spouses)
- Early Retirement Subsidies, Supplements and Temporary Benefits
- Cost of Living Adjustments
- Division of Benefits for Participants in Pay Status
- Eligible Domestic Relations Orders
- Taxation Issues
We’re also happy to discuss the pro’s and con’s for your client of taking a deferred distribution via a QDRO, versus opting for an immediate lump sum offset of assets based on the net present value of the marital portion of the pension, give us a call.
