I just found out my Ex has recently been collecting a pension, that he conveniently neglected to reveal to the court during our divorce proceedings, and i have several questions. First is- who do I go to for a QDRO? A financial person that has pension knowledge, or a divorce attorney or ????
Second- would my benefit (50%) be calculated upon receipt of the QDRO request or from the time HE started receiving the pension (that is when I would have become eligible also)?
Third- the pension QDRO guidelines provide options for monthly payments, which appear to end when either of us dies, a Shared Interest approach and a Separate Interest approach. Can you explain the difference? Not sure if these are common options or just THIS pensions options.
any incite into this situation would be helpful.
thank you
