If a divorce agreement preceeds the 1994 QDRO ruling, (ie the divorce was finalized in 1983/84) and in the divorce degree one party was given part of the other's retirement (in this case the judge stated that the petitioner was to receive upon her retirement, 50% difference above and beyone what her ex received. For example say she receives $2000 a month in retirement pensions benefits ect. Her ex receives $5000, that is a $3000 and she is entitled to $1500.
So, my question is, how does one go about acting on this award and will the later ruling affect it?
Thanks in advance for any information.
