thanks everyone for the great information. Ideally I wish my ex would have done the QRDO right away. I would have! I would want what was agreed on right away. It's hard to plan for my retirement when I don't know what my exact number will be. It sounds like it may be worth it for me to wait until I am closer to retirement before maybe asking a court for her to comply.

Hello, My divorce decree states that ex-wife will receive XX dollars - plus investment experience (earnings, gains and losses) on such amount based upon investment performance from the Plan valuation date immediately preceding the date of the parties' Judgment of Absolute Divorce until the Plan valuation date immediately preceding the date of distribution. My ex-wife never submitted a QDRO. It's been 7 years. How are earnings, gains and losses calculated? who would do that? does she have a time limit to submit the QDRO? I'm just nervous because I would like to know what my retirement balance is going to be. Thanks!
