    A QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) occurs when a former spouse or other becomes entitled to a share of your pension through a divorce settlement. You should be able to submit the proper forms yourself to the pension administrator.

    This site has more details:

    What State?

    This is a tricky process. You are far better off with an Attorney (and you may already know that).

    Here is one helpful site: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/publications/qdros.html

    Here is the form for Kansas - it gives you the basic format. http://www.kpers.org/qdroa.htm

    PLEASE stop posting the same question - and giving me a "disagree" when I can't answer.

    As I said right from the beginning I need to know what STATE you are in. Each STATE has a different form.

    I provided you with the basic information, which apparently you either didn't want or couldn't understand. That site provided the format and what you need to fill in the form - other than that, without the STATE no one can help you.

    I answered on another thread - WHAT STATE (for the third time).

    I posted the form for one State, the one that was the most quick to find.

    It's QDRO - and the form IS available from the administrator of the "fund" if all else fails.

    Your threads have been merged into one. The proper way to post a follow-up question is to use the ANSWER box at the bottom of the page, not to start a new note. And if you are using the Not Helpful rating, please remember that asking for more information is done so we can help you better. Its really unfair to mark a note as unhelpful if the person is asking for more info.

    As to where you get the forms. The site I linked to as instructions for draftng a QDRO. It is not as simple as filling out a form. Don't you have a divorce attorney handling your divorce? They should be doing this for you.
