- Drafting and reviewing customized QDROs for 401(k), 403(b), 457, and employee stock ownership plans.
- Dividing defined benefit pensions, including state public employee retirement systems, teacher retirement plans, and military pensions.
- Securing critical survivor annuities, cost-of-living adjustments, and early retirement subsidies.
- Drafting domestic orders to collect child support obligations and alimony arrearages from retirement plans.

By constructing clear evidentiary models that conform with Ohio and Kentucky judicial standards, the firm ensures that non-marital assets are shielded from erroneous division.
