No, you won't be subject to an early distribution tax for a QDRO retirement distribution. An alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is not subject to the 10% additional early distribution tax in the following circumstances.  Refer to the IRS website Retirement topics - Exceptions to tax on early distributions for more information.
