Preparation of Qualified Domestic Relations Orders

One of the most complicated issues in the practice of family law is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, also known as a QDRO. Christopher Haaff of the Law Office of Christopher Haaff in Crystal Lake, Illinois, with his extensive experience in drafting QDROs, can help you.

What is a QDRO?

QDRO stands for Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The document creates and recognizes the existence of a specified payee's right to receive all or a part of the benefits payable to a participant in a pension, retirement or stock option plan. The documents can be lengthy and complex, and require the experience of a seasoned lawyer who has drafted them previously.

QDRO Experience

Christopher Haaff has generated QDROs for clients at all income levels. For clients, his ability to draft a comprehensive QDRO could mean a significant difference in the amount of money they are eligible to receive.

How a QDRO is drafted is as important as having a QDRO in the first place. Knowledge of benefit plans and stock option plans is vital. A careful review of all the data involved, and strict attention to detail in formulating a QDRO are important for it to be enforceable and hold up in court.
