*NOTES:
• If you have or your spouse has a retirement or pension plan, talk to a lawyer. You
may need a “domestic relations order” to transfer the marital portion of benefits
from one spouse to the other. These orders are sometimes called qualified
domestic relations orders (QDROs), Court Orders Acceptable for Processing
(COAP), or qualifying retirement benefit court orders. If you and your spouse
agree on how to divide the benefits, you can draft and file an order for the court to
approve. Each plan has specific requirements that must be met for the order to be
valid and accepted. A lawyer can advise you based on the plan.
• Social Security benefits cannot be divided in a divorce. Contact the Social Security
Administration or a lawyer for more information.
