The US Supreme Court has accepted a case involving a question regarding Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs). In the case from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court granted cert on the following question only: "Was the Fifth Circuit correct in concluding that ERISA’s Qualified Domestic Relations Order provision, 29 U.S.C. § 1056(d)(3)(B)(i), is the only valid way a divorcing spouse can waive her right to receive her ex-husband’s pension benefits under ERISA?"
