QDRO Attorney

Jeremy T. Goad, Esq. of Keist Thurston, P.C. is one of few attorneys in the Phoenix Metropolitan area that has the expertise to draft orders relating to the division of retirement plans. It would be unusual indeed if the family law attorney who handled your divorce would also handle the division of your retirement plans. Mr. Goad devotes his entire practice to retirement plan divisions. Jeremy primarily handles qualified domestic relations orders (QDRO) related to the division of retirement plans..

Jeremy Goad has experience with drafting QDRO’s on 401(K) Plans, 403(b) Plans, IRA’s, Annuities, 457 Deferred Compensation Plans, Profit Sharing Plans, ESOP Plans, Military Retirement Plans, and Federal Government Plans (CSRS and FERS). Mr. Goad also drafts orders dividing retirement benefits for the Arizona State Retirement System, Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, and the City of Phoenix Employee Retirement System, as well as for CalPERS, CalSTERS, and SDCERS. Mr. Goad and KT Law Firm do not represent COPERS. Mr. Goad understands the complexities involved in dealing with pre- and post-retirement survivorship protection, early retirement subsidies and cost of living enhancements. In appropriate cases, he knows how to draft a QDRO which allows a spouse to start receiving his/her share of pension benefits even before the member spouse retires.
