"P and K divorced 7/29/15. Decree says P is to split 401k from marriage 1997 to divorce w k. QDRO finally started in 11/23, signed by courts 3/24. 401k plan transferred to IRA by P's previous Employer. Unknown to both P and K. QDRO relates to 401k not IRA and does not correspond with decree, (K manipulated documents and P signed thinking the had to match decree or courts wouldn't have signed, not the case) So it's a blessing that it got transferred to an IRA. When P contacted 401k company-Fidelity to see if QDRO was being processed in March, that is when he found out about it being transferred to Insperia Financial as an IRA. That company does not process QDRO and Ca Labor Retirement Service stated that QDRO is not Valid as it relates to a 401k not and IRA. Insperia Financial says that P and K have to agree on either a percentage or an amount. Funds are locked down until then. k won't sign unless the split of the 401k includes Child Support and Alimony as well. K has now levied P bank acct for child support and on Sept 9 a withholding order will take the total child support from his IRA, K is willing to sign for a lump sum agreed amount. Question: Can a settlement agreement be made, staying the they agree on this amount, and that it covers the split, child support, and alimony. Have them both sign with notary. Is that legal to be done? If so do you know someone who could it?"
