QDROphile, Thank you for the reply. Yes, I agree...It is not the plan administrator's duty to educate me on the terms of the QDRO. What my main question is this. Since it is my Ex-Wife's pension, if I were to call the plan administrator of her plan, are they going to supply me with expected payout amounts (based on an expected payout date) over the phone? Are they required to give me any information? I know with my pension, I have a website I can go to to get payout models, plan balances, etc.. With her plan, I have no idea what is in the plan. Thanks, Carl

My Ex-Wife and I have mostly identical QDRO documents for each of our pensions. How can I go about finding out the expected value once I start receiving payments from her pension and also how do I find out if a lump sum distribution option is available. Will her plan administrator supply that information to me?
