About
The Law Office of Elizabeth McMahon/ CTQDROs is a boutique law firm that focuses on the preparation of Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. Given that we are neutral when we handle a file, we work with both parties and, if needed, their attorneys to draft an order that conforms to the judgment of divorce or legal separation.
Our involvement spans from drafting the QDRO, obtaining plan administrator pre-approval, circulating the order for party signatures, submitting it to the court, and serving the court-certified QDRO on the retirement plan administrator.
The CTQDROS staff has years of experience and knows the status of every file. By the time a QDRO has been entered by the court and served on the plan administrator, each of us will have had role in completing the QDRO process.
