Question:

How will my pension and retirement benefits affect my child support order?

Is my government pension not allowed to be factored into child support? I have one child who will have reached the age of emancipation by the time I retire and another child who will turn 18 after I am retired.

Should I file a motion to modify child support based on my retirement income?

Question:

I have been divorced for years, but my ex-wife has petitioned to start receiving my retirement benefits even though I am at least another five years away from retiring.

Is there any way I can defend myself from this?

Question:

My ex-wife's retirement was never addressed during the divorce.

Since it was not addressed, is it still considered an open issue and I can come back years after our divorce with a claim to a portion of the account?

Question:

I divorced many years ago and the only issue that has never been resolved is the Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), which is used to divide retirement accounts between parties in a divorce case.

My company tried to get my ex-wife to fill out and execute the QDRO to no avail while withholding half of my pension. Because of the lack of response, my company sent me all of the withheld monies from the pension and ended the QDRO withholding.

So my question is how long am I liable for a possible QDRO claim?
