Our retainer estimates and fees are based on the total number of QDROs or other court Orders needed to divide your and/or your former spouse's retirement plans. We may also include an additional retainer or fee for tracing calculations or the completion of additional court documents, like Joinders, that may be required to complete the objective.
All retainer estimates are based on the information that you, your counsel, or opposing counsel has provided to us. We will offer either flat fees or traditional retainers based on the specifics of your matter.
Retainer and fee quotes include all court fees. Clients are not charged for copying, long distance telephone, or postage costs. The legal fees paid also include storage of your file for seven years or earliest retirement age of the participant, to ensure that we can be there to assist you in the unlikely event that you have problems when you are retiring.
The base fee for one QDRO is $1,200. Usually, this fee is split between the parties , which means that each person pays $600. Please note these rates are subject to change.
We prorate the retainer estimates for clients who require more than one QDRO.
Joinder preparation is a flat fee of $300/Joinder.
We are willing to accept monthly payments, and we do not charge interest or give late fees.
Please see our Terms & Conditions for the limitations on relying on this information.
