Alaska Laws on Division of Retirement Assets and Pensions
In Alaska, retirement assets accrued during a marriage are typically treated as marital property, which is subject to equitable division during a divorce. This includes public and private pension plans. A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) or a Domestic Relations Order (DRO) is required to legally divide these retirement benefits.
The Q(DRO) must comply with both Alaska state laws and the specific rules of the retirement plan.
