Curtin Whitcombe LLC
Superior Services
Curtin Whitcombe LLC, a boutique law firm in Chicago's northern suburbs, specializes in the retirement division of assets during and after divorce, focusing on QDRO and QILDRO processes. While our services primarily involve the entry of orders in Cook, Lake, DuPage, and McHenry Counties, we also draft orders for any county, whether in Illinois or beyond. Our expertise extends to consulting with attorneys on MSA drafting, reviewing retirement division orders created by legal professionals, registering foreign judgments to facilitate the entry of QILDROs for Illinois State pensions, and calculating the marital and non-marital portions of defined contribution plans such as IRA, 401(k), and 457(b) plans. Trust the expertise of Curtin Law and Whitcombe Law for your retirement division needs.
Cutting Through the Confusion
Curtin Whitcombe LLC, also known as Curtin Law, collaborates with attorneys and directly with divorced individuals to prepare Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs), including Qualified Illinois Domestic Relations Orders (QILDROs), and other court orders necessary for retirement division. The process of dividing retirement benefits can often be complex and time-consuming, leading to frustration during approval and finalization. There are various Federal and State laws that govern the requirements for these orders, and each individual retirement plan has its unique rules and procedures. This is why many divorce attorneys prefer to refer their clients to us for QDRO assistance. With extensive experience in retirement division, Whitcombe Law has streamlined the process to provide knowledgeable and superior services, making it more manageable and less confusing. Our attorneys focus on personalized and cost-effective QDRO support for both attorneys and clients.
