Missouri Bar Journal Article on QDROs

Interesting article in the Missouri Bar Journal by Leslie A. Kulick: “What are the Limitations on QDROs?” Ms. Kulick argues that “ERISA qualified retirement plans were not meant to be a deep pocket of readily available funds for use by state courts to right all domestic support wrongs” and that “[i]n the case where the spouse was not a plan participant during the marriage, or where the settlement split the property, leaving each party with their individual property, a domestic order should not be considered a qualified one under ERISA.”
