Model QDROS provided by plan administrators offer the family lawyer a quick method of drafting a QDRO with the promise of a smooth review and qualification process. While appropriate at times, the plan provided model may omit important provisions and protections, particularly for the non-employee spouse. This program will discuss the key provisions in QDROS to consider when evaluating whether to adopt plan provided model QDROS or to negotiate beyond the model terms. QDRO drafting tips for both the employee and non-employee spouse will be discussed.
