The QDRO process involves several layers of approval, including signatures by the parties, the judge, and final acceptance by the plan administrator. Even simple plans can encounter unexpected delays. Without legal guidance, navigating these steps can be frustrating and overwhelming.

We are not a form service. We are a Florida-based family law firm. When you work with us, you receive legal advice, skilled drafting, and attentive service throughout the process. Our QDRO preparation services range from $800 to $1,200 per account, and we proudly offer discounts for military personnel, veterans, first responders, teachers, government employees, and clients with multiple QDROs.

What Our Flat Fee Covers

  • ​Legal advice on Florida law related to dividing retirement assets
  • Assistance with incorporating appropriate language into your divorce judgment (if contacted early)
  • Pre-approval coordination with plan administrators
  • Communication with court and plan administrators
  • Submission of the proposed QDRO for pre-approval (if required)
  • Preparation of any plan-required applications or forms
  • Filing the order with the court and obtaining certified copies
  • Final delivery of the approved order to the plan for implementation

We Handle All Types of Retirement Plans:
​
We handle all types of plans, including but not limited to private sector plans (defined benefit pensions, 401(k)'s, profit-sharing plans, annuities, ESOPs, savings plans and IRAs), government plans (pensions, annuities and thrift savings plans), and military plans (pensions and thrift savings plans). 

If additional litigation is needed to resolve outstanding issues related to your QDRO, we are available to provide to these additional legal services in the State of Florida at our hourly rate.
