We represent clients in or near Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, Ojai or Port Hueneme. Call or e-mail us to discuss how your divorce can affect your retirement benefits.

Retirement Benefits Division in California
In California, retirement benefits are considered part of your marital property. Like your other marital assets, benefits such as 401Ks, annuities and pensions are often divided during a divorce.

The law offices of Cho & Brown can help you successfully divide your pensions and other retirement benefits.

Qualified Domestic Relations Order
When marital property is divided in California, a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is used to transfer retirement benefits from one spouse to another. A QDRO has very specific terms and can be issued for private benefit plans, ERISA plans and public plans. It can also be used to collect child support or spousal support.

At Cho & Brown, our attorneys understand pensions and other retirement benefits. We can help negotiate, draft or modify a QDRO that meets your needs.
