It is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. It is a way in a divorce action to divide retirement accounts in a technical process that avoids penalties that would otherwise exist if the retirement account was divided.
You should speak to an attorney about the specifics of this but it is a very good mechanism to divide retirement accounts without having the penalties that typically exist.
