Qualified Domestic Relations Orders Attorney in Overland Park, Kansas

QDRO is the legal abbreviation for a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. This is a court order where a Court assigns an Alternate Payee the right to receive a portion of a retirement plan benefits that would normally be paid to a Participant in the plan. These orders are used to divide retirement accounts when a Court distributes such an account in a divorce action. Occasionally, this type of order may be drawn to reimburse a parent to collect unpaid child support.

Qualified Domestic Relations Orders are very specific and very complex orders. They should not be drawn by anyone other than a legal professional, as often these orders will distribute hundreds of thousands of dollars.
