I have been divorced for 6 years. As part of our divorce settlement which was filed with the courts as part of our divorce paperwork, my ex is entitled to more than $100,000 from my teaching pension. In Pennsylvania, it is a state funded pension and can be taken out as lump sum (which I would have to do) or as a monthly benefit. Our mediator had a QDRO drafted by an independent company that specializes in drafting QDRO's for PA teachers. My ex refused to sign saying that it was not the correct amount and has refused to since. The mediator does not know how this will impact the QDRO. The pension system thinks he will be entitled to it, but hasn't faced this before. Help please. Retirement is two years away...

During our divorce settlement, my ex was granted $100K+ from my teaching pension when I retire. Although the QDRO was drafted by an outside company specializing in QDROs, my ex refused to sign believing that he should receive more. Both his lawyer and the mediator tried to get him to sign, but he refuses. It's been 6 years and he still hasn't signed. When I retire in a few years, if he hasn't signed it and submitted it to the County Judge, will he be entitled to the pension money?
