How can I use a QDRO to receive Alimony arrears, and if my ex-spouse retirement plan does not have a high enough account balance, what are some other immediate ways I can receive payment for my Alimony Arrears? Also, as I mentioned I have arrears, but based on my court order, Alimony ended June of 2011. I know it is not possible to file for an extension of alimony once the term is over of alimony payments, but my question is: would I eligible to file for an extension of alimony because there are Arrears to be paid, and thus my Alimony term is still considered "Active." Please note that a Judge issued a new order in October reaffirming my rights for alimony and ordered that "all terms and provisions of Judgement of Absolute Divorce are in Full Force and Effect."

If the Alimony is modifiable because it was court ordered, is it possible to file an extension if you never received the original term of Alimony?

Can a QDRO be used for Alimony Arrears in Maryland. Also, if the original term of Alimony had ended (but never received Alimony payments, hence why a QDRO is being done), can you file for extension/modification of Alimony even if it is after the original awarded alimony term ends, but there are still arrears?

Thank you!

I have a QDRO that was just signed by a Judge with a Seal on it. I am sending it to my ex-husband's 401k Plan at Lincoln Financial. Is there anyway that I can request that the company not notify my husband that funds are being transferred out of his retirement account for safety reasons. I have a lot of safety issues with his new wife
