Thank you for the opinions. The QDRO has been signed by the judge. My former (retired) attorney reviewed the draft, assured me that only the specified amount would be transferred, and gave the ex's attorney the go ahead. Investment gains and losses start on the date the divorce decree was signed by the judge.

My ex was awarded a specific dollar amount when our divorce was finalized in March 2016 (NYS). The amount awarded was to equitably distribute our assets. In April 2018, his attorney drafted a QDRO specifying the dollar amount plus investment gains and losses. I argue that he is entitled to only the amount specified in the divorce. Can I win this argument? Per the divorce decree, the ex is responsible for preparing the QDRO (which has been done); am I correct in assuming he is not responsible to cover the $600 processing fee charged by my 401-K plan? Thank you.
