If neither the participant or alternate payee have legel representation, then is it ok that the QDRO is not signed by an attorney? Is it ok that the DRO is just signed by the court and approved by the Plan to become a QDRO?

Yes, it is the court's signature that is critical (and the Plan's determination that it meets the requirements of 414p and 206d3--with notice at the appropriate times in processing the order, from the plan administrator to the employee and ex-spouse).

You mean we don't have a full employment for lawyers statute in connection with QDROs?

QDROphile,
Give the new Congress and Administration a chance to actually be sworn in before expecting promises to be fulfilled.
