A tipped over jar filled with pennies with retirement written on it, with QDROs and DROs in orange text above it.

As part of a divorce, ex-spouses are permitted to transfer retirement assets without a taxable event. This one-time IRS exception allows ex-spouses to divide retirement assets equitably without incurring negative tax consequences to the division. The document required to complete this transfer is called a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (“QDRO”) or Domestic Relations Order (“DRO”) depending on the type of retirement plan.

We recommend Gray Jay Endeavors, LLC for the preparation of QDROs and DROs.  They offer flat fee preparation of QDROs and DROs, and hourly consulting services to ensure that Divorce Agreements contain the necessary language for the proper division of a retirement account.
