How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the debtor's interest in former spouse's retirement plan arising from qualified domestic relations order was excluded from property of the estate
• debtor's pre-petition QDRO interest in ERISA-qualified plan, with funds not disbursed as of petition date, was excluded from bankruptcy estate under § 541(c)(2)
• for 6 My doubt stems from the fact that the initial domestic relations order, if seriously deficient, may not satisfy the QDRO requirements in § 414(p)(2
• “A person awarded a lump-sum distribution from an ERISA plan pursuant to a divorce decree has a direct interest in plan funds while the plan reviews the DRO to determine whether it constitutes a QDRO.”
