If your divorce decree says that she gets a portion of your retirement, then she gets a portion of your retirement. If the QDRO has to be done in order for that to happen, then you need to cooperate.

While Ldij is correct (you do have to cooperate and get the QDRO in place), the only minor quibble is who has to pay for it. If the decree is silent on the matter, then you could ask her to pay for it - or split the expense.

HOWEVER, you're probably better off paying for it because it won't be very expensive and you will control the attorney so you can be comfortable there are no backhanded tricks. It would be counterproductive to fight over this minor matter.

Personally, I would have my attorney draft the QDRO using the exact requirements of the divorce decree and then ask her to pay 1/2. If she refused, I'd drop my request for payment because it won't be enough to be worth fighting over.
