Re: divorce settlement
you had to do a qualified domestic relation order "QDRO" and send that to her retirement plan administrator.

In a general sense, it would start with a review of your underlying documents and pleadings such as the Judgment, and then an assessment can be made. I would not delay in this any longer.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

Start with reviewing your marital settlement agreement. As mentioned by Mr. Levy, you probably have to prepare a QDRO and serve it on the retirement plan administer.
