Pensions and QDROs

Illinois Pension Division Attorney

Pensions and benefit plans can be among the most significant marital assets. Since a pension may be considered marital property, it is subject to division in divorce. Dividing a contribution or benefit plan requires the knowledge and skill of an experienced pension division attorney.

If, in property division, sufficient income sources exist to compensate the non-pension holder for their share of the pension, a judge may rule that the pension need not be divided. If not, a lawyer with extensive financial experience can guide you through this very technical area of marital asset division.

We help clients obtain a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), which is written specifically to divide contribution and benefit plans. A QDRO does not change the attributes of the plan; it simply requires the pension administrator to pay to the pension holder and their ex-spouse.

With over 30 years of experience, we have obtained QDROs for the division of benefit plans, pensions, 401(k)s, ESOPs, and 403(b)s. We can assert your right to a divided pension.
