When I started my QDROs I was very afraid of not getting everything right. VERY HELPFUL with my phone calls and with filling in the form for Fed Retirement. I have one more to do, will have to wait until I find a job and have the monies for the Thrift Savings Plan. Thank you for all your help.

Reviewing your Military Qualifying Court Order Checklist, I noticed that question #9 asserts that the only option available is “Yes” if a percentage is stated in question #8. This seems to be in contrast with the Department of Defense, Financial Management Regulation, Volume 7B: “Military Pay Policy and Procedures – Retired Pay” (DoD 7000.14-R). Documented by the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller). My question pertains to Chapter 29: “Former Spouse Payments from Retired Pay”, that I believe was last updated in July 2019. Anyhow, in this regulation paragraph 290607 “Acceptable Formula Awards” subparagraph (D) states, “The sample Military Retired Pay Division Orders (see Figures 29-1 and 29-2) provide examples of acceptable formula award language.” While examining the example, beginning on page 29-30 that pertains to my particular situation, I noticed at the bottom it states, [Please note that all awards expressed as a percentage of disposable retired pay, including hypothetical awards, will automatically include a proportionate share of the member's COLA unless the court order states otherwise. Also, hypothetical retired pay amounts will be adjusted for all retired pay COLA from the hypothetical retirement date to the member's actual retirement date, unless this order states otherwise.] I found this to hold true with the follow-on example on page 29-32 as well. Intrigued, I went to paragraph 291002 “Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA)” and found, “If a retired pay award is expressed as a percentage of disposable retired pay, the former spouse will automatically receive a proportionate share of the member’s COLAs unless the court order states otherwise.” All three references state, "unless the court order states otherwise". While I am definitely not an aficionado on this matter, your Military Qualifying Court Order Checklist seems to contradict Under Secretary of Defense guidance’s...? So now I am totally confused. 😊 Can you shed some light on this matter for me? Search dod 7000.14-r volume 7b chapter 29 Respectfully submitted for your consideration, Confused

On April 1st, I spoke to a rep by the name of Michelle. She was very courteous and took her time explaining what the process would entail. Once I received my official divorce decree, I again called the QDRO Center and confirmed the process I was about to embark on. I created my QDRO Document and with 4 outstanding questions, I called back to the QDRO Center and was helped with information to be able to complete the QDRO Document! The process was easy and customer service stupendous! Would definitely recommend QDRO Center to anyone in the process of splitting their 401K due to Divorce! Thanks, Víctor Ayala Jr

This is exactly what I was looking for! I talked to a lawyer who was going to charge me $1,200... this was very simple and they made sure that I did it right without .. they were very thorough and efficient! Highly recommend for people who want to their own QDRO

So far so good, exceptional customer service, let's see how the rest of the process progresses.

had no problem taking $, can't download or print the order. Refund $, I'll find a different company that can deliver.

Knowledgeable and helpful staff and easy to use program. I highly recommend this service!

An agent ANSWERED the call and talked me through all the questions I had.
