QDRO signed by Court

[Jack Stevenson]

I have a QDRO that was signed by the Court and i am sending now to Plan administrator a Certified copy. However, I have an ex-spouse who is surrounded with sketchy, dangerous people who are unset that I am awarded this portion of his retirement. Is there anyway I can request that the plans not communicate with them once the QDRO is approved and the benefits are segregated for safety reasons?

The plan is required to communicate the disposition of the domestic relations order* to the plan participant and the alternate payee, and their respective lawyers of record (if identified to the plan). The plan is under a fiduciary duty not to communicate otherwise. You can request whatever you want, but the plans actions and restrictions are pretty well determined by law.

*Such as whether or not the order is qualified — whether or not it is a QDRO — and any particular interpretation by the plan of what is awarded to the alternate payee.

Since Jack is not an attorney and has wasted everybody's time with 24 posts and a refusal to take any suggestions offered to him, the odds are pretty high that the QDRO will not be accepted.
