Under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), the non-employee spouse is entitled to one-half the value of assets in a pension plan. However, the transfer of those assets can be made without his or her approval if it is done through a properly executed QDRO. The QDRO needs to be approved by the plan administrator and court before the transfer can happen. Therefore, option A is the best choice.
