In the second video of the series he explains what a QDRO is and how it affects a retirement plan in a divorce.
By: SuperbPR Since divorce mediation and the separation of a family is very dynamic and can involve many facets of a couples life, there are consequently a wide variety of questions that may be presented to the mediator. Recently there have been questions surrounding how much an individual is entitled to regarding retirement accounts in a divorce. Matthew Brickman recently posted a video on his YouTube Channel explaining the legal implications of a QDRO. He stated, "One issue that I commonly encounter in mediation is retirement accounts, and the question that arises is this - how much am I entitled to? The short answer is you are entitled to the marital portion, but how do you figure that out? The good news is you don't have to and neither do I." He went on to say, "That's actually left to an expert that does what they call a QDRO, which stands for Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The only thing that we need in mediation is your date of marriage and your date of filing the petition for dissolution of marriage." Mr. Brickman continued to explain how ultimately the marital portion to be divided between the two people is finally determined. http://www.youtube.com/ iChatMediation, or iMediate Inc., is a company consisting of only State Supreme Court certified mediators, with ongoing yearly continuing education in which they stay abreast of changes in the statutes, laws and Florida family mediation trends.
