As most family law attorneys can attest, qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs) are a necessary — yet complex — part of nearly every divorce. From the various ways pension plans can be divided, to tax penalties on 401Ks and IRAs, to the differences between defined contribution, defined balance and cash balance plans, the intricacies of QDROs are tricky at best – even more so during the emotional upheaval of a family in distress.
In this session, QDRO Attorney David T. Ruegg will demystify some of the trickiest aspects of QDROs. He’ll cover the following topics:
-
Proper discovery of defined contribution accounts in volatile stock market conditions including BrokerageLink accounts
-
Defined Contribution Plans: Offsetting, equalizing, and buyouts, oh my!
-
Pension Plan Buyouts: When to use actuaries and when to (or when not to) rely on Pension Plan Annual Benefit Reports
-
Loans Against 401k Accounts: Why are they different from regular loans?
-
Health Benefit Plans: What are they and should you try to divide them?
-
Social Security Windfall Elimination: What is it and how does it impact retirement division in divorce?
