thanks all

At this time, we have not hired a lawyer. Not saying that we may need to do so in the future. We were able to use the Disney Fidelity QDRO format to create a QDRO. We cannot submit this QDRO back to Disney Fidelity until it is signed by a Judge. The other party involved has a lawyer. I realize we have to submit to the Judge for signing; however, by law, do we also need to send a copy to the other side. Or do we wait until the QDRO is signed by the Judge, then send them a copy? We are in Florida. Thanks for any insight.

Thank you so much for the response, gives us something to work on. Your knowledge is very much appreciated.

My husband went through a nasty divorce. He did what was ordered by the Court, she received over $200,000 for house and he paid child support- never late. Part of the divorce was he get half of her pension, 401K from Disney. For years, it was a cat and mouse game where exwife and Disney Fidelity would not disclose the name of her plans. Discovery, subpoenas filed (this was back in 2005). Finally in 2022, my husband got an award from Disney Fidelity. Not much, but it was purpose. Now in Feb, we get a letter from Disney Fidelity that ex-wife is trying to retire but her funds are being held up. Trying to speak to somebody from Disney Fidelity QDRO dept is virutally impossible, but we did get this one guy who was super helpful and although couldn't come right out - told my husband to do another QDRO because she had another plan which he could be entitled to. My husband and his previous lawyer back in 2005 always felt she hid money. His ex-wife has hired her new 5th lawyer and they are trying to do a Motion to Vacate the original QDRO back in 2005. My question is that the QDRO would apply to the plans the ex wife had during their marriage of 1988 to 2005, I dont understand why the guy from Disney Fidelity told us to subpoena Fidelity for her plan subsequent to 2005? Why then? Any advice would be so helpful. Thx
