Retirement accounts are often among the most valuable assets in a divorce, but dividing them the wrong way can trigger serious tax consequences or even result in lost benefits. In this episode, I break down the basics of QDROs—Qualified Domestic Relations Orders—including when they’re needed, how they function, and what makes them different from other types of retirement account divisions.

I also walk you through five common QDRO-related mistakes people make, from delaying the process to using vague settlement language, and explain how to avoid each one. Whether you’re in the middle of your divorce or think you’re done once the paperwork is filed, this episode will help you make sure your retirement assets are properly protected.
