From understanding how a particular type of retirement plan works during settlement negotiations, to getting the order prepared once the case is resolved — Arizona's QDRO Practice gives you the tools to make your job easier at each step.
Each tool below is designed for a specific moment in a case that involves a retirement plan. You do not need to use all three — use whichever fits where you are right now.
When you are in the middle of a negotiation and need to understand how a retirement plan works — how it is divided, what decisions need to be made, what the risks are for your client — this library gives you plain-language answers organized by plan type.
Each plan section expands with a knowledge summary and audio explainers with animated graphics, covering the key concepts and decision points for that plan. No login required. No intake form. Just answers.
Once a case is settled, you can refer your client directly to us. We take it from there — we work with your client to gather all the information we need, collect our flat fee, and prepare the order.
The QDRO Initial Intake Form takes about two minutes to complete. We confirm the referral with you and keep you in the loop throughout. You do not need to gather plan information, draft instructions, or manage the process — that is what we are here for.
If you prefer to stay in control of the intake process yourself, the Quentin Intake App walks you through every question we need answered — plan by plan, decision by decision — then collects the fee (you will need to be ready to pay the flat fee directly through your office), and delivers everything to us in one organized submission.
The app is tailored to each plan type. It explains each decision point as you go, flags issues you may not have considered, and makes sure nothing is missed. Most intakes take 10 to 20 minutes. Our flat fee is collected at the end of the intake.
Here is what the process looks like from the moment you identify a retirement plan in a case to the moment the order is filed with the court.
We are happy to answer any questions about how these tools work, talk through a specific plan or help you figure out the right approach before you make a referral. Call us directly or contact us by email.
