Experts in QDROs, QILDROs, and Retirement Asset Division

Retirement plans represent one of the most valuable and complicated assets in a marital estate. Ex-spouses, dependent children, and other family members may be legally entitled to a portion of a spouse's 401(k), 403(b), or pension plan. However, withdrawing these funds prematurely without the proper court documentation can result in severe early withdrawal penalties and tax liabilities. To find a lawyer who is widely recognized for resolving these intricate financial divisions, clients turn to Colin Artinger. The firm handles everything from drafting to securing plan administrator approval for:

• Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs): Recognizing alternate payees for private employee retirement plans, protecting the tax-advantaged status of the assets.
• Qualified Illinois Domestic Relations Orders (QILDROs): Navigating state-specific statutes to split public pension benefits for government, school, and public safety workers.
• Military and Civilian Pension Plans: Securing a fair division of federal and military retirement assets under precise federal guidelines.
