Weekly Divorce Tip #27
If you are awarded a percentage of your husband’s retirement account (i.e. 50%) in the divorce, make sure your lawyer processes the Qualified Domestic Relations Order (”QDRO”) as quickly as possible. Once the QDRO is complete and the funds are transferred, review your portfolio and make sure your funds are invested in a manner that corresponds with your earning strategy.
If you do not quickly effectuate the QDRO and your retirement funds are neglected, market fluctuations could significantly reduce the net value of your account before you even take control of the funds. Don’t let this happen to you.
This is not legal advice. You should consult an attorney if you have legal questions that relate to your specific divorce. Technorati Tags: divorce retirement accounts Qualified Domestic Relations Order QDRO settlement getting divorced legal women woman law
