Terms of Use
A QDRO stands for "Qualified Domestic Relations Order" and is a court order that mandates that a retirement plan administrator follow the terms of a divorce settlement. It is very important to have a QDRO whenever you divide a community interest in any 401(k). If you don't get a QDRO, the plan administrator is not required to follow the terms of your divorce settlement.
