QFRK

Thank you. Yes it is a QDRO. I have received the letter from my pension plan asking for proof of age documentation since she has submitted the completed pension application to process the alternate payee application when she applies.. So is this a good indication that she can't claim her portion until I reach retirement age?

We have a QDRO filed with our divorce. I am wondering when is that the ex is able to start collecting.. When we divorced I was at my 25 year mark at work. She gets approximately 7 years worth of my pension. Now I am reaching my 30 years, when I am allowed to retire if i wish, but I am not. Does the ex wife have to wait until I start collecting in order to collect from her portion or can she start when I would be eligible if I chose to at my 30 year mark?
