He made payments to me as ordered by the court. They represented my share of his pension I would receive under the QDRO when he retired but before he retired. That’s what the Gilmore law is about. If the ex doesn’t retire, you’re entitled to collect your share but the ex pays you directly.
QDRO's are served on the plan administrator who is required to compute your share based on the plan rules and send the payment directly to you and issue a 1099-R in your name.
