For many people, these retirement savings represent one of their most significant assets.- When couples divorce with retirement accounts, these accounts need to be reviewed and a shared denominator needs to be determined so that both parties reach a fair agreement.-QDROS cannot be handled by a state judge alone, and require federal intervention for approval.
