rosey Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 I have a court ordered QDRO, and am the alternate. I hired an attorney to process and submit to the judge for approval. On the last page, the signing page it has my name as the petitioner and Pro Se. I know that Pro Se means by myself or no representation, is this standard procedure?
justanotheradmin Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 It depends specifically on what you hired the attorney for. If you hired the attorney to process paperwork only, then pro se makes sense. If you hired the attorney to represent you in court for this matter, then pro se doesn't make sense. Did your attorney review the order and give you advice? or just file it for you? If your agreement with them is that they are to review the order and answer any questions from the other party, and represent you, then typically their name would be listed. Who drafted the order? If the other party doesn't know you have an attorney representing you then they would not know to include their information. QDROphile 1 I'm a stranger on the internet. Nothing I write is tax or legal advice. I'd like a witty saying here, but I don't have any. When in doubt, what does the plan document say?
