You may be able to get a sample QDRO from the plan administrator.
But be aware, most lawyers outsource the preparation of QDROs to lawyers and accountants who specialize in their preparation, and the plan administrator's sample QDRO won't necessarily do what you want (as opposed to making things easier for the plan administrator down the road).
You don't know how successful a QDRO is until it goes into pay status, and interesting complications can arise with regard to a new spouse's rights if you remarry.
