If you don't know what a living trust is, you don't want to try to prepare a QDRO.

Since he has already been awarded the money and the divorce is final, it shouldn't be too expensive to get an attorney to draft and submit it.

Your SISTER can hire an attorney to draft the QDRO.

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. The devil is in the details after all.
