Florida Retirement Division Laws & Requirements
Florida courts treat retirement benefits earned during marriage as marital property, requiring equitable distribution in divorce. From the Florida Retirement System (FRS) to private pensions and 401(k)s, each plan requires specific legal orders for division. Public retirement systems need a DRO (Domestic Relations Order), while private plans require a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order).
Key requirements for Florida retirement division include proper handling of:
- Marital portion calculations (benefits earned between marriage and filing)
- Survivor benefits and beneficiary rights
- Cost of living adjustments (COLAs)
- Early retirement provisions
- Plan-specific regulations for FRS, private pensions, and municipal systems
With over three decades of experience handling retirement divisions, we ensure precise documentation that protects your interests while meeting all legal requirements.
