Divorce Finance, QDRO & Alimony Rule Watch

Track the financial rules of divorce in the United States, written for people without a lawyer. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: alimony and spousal support formula, duration, modification and cohabitation law changes and rulings by state; QDRO and retirement account division rule and processing changes at Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab, Empower, TIAA, the federal TSP and state pensions; marital and separate property appellate rulings; IRS guidance on support, asset transfers and claiming dependents; COBRA and state health insurance continuation rules after divorce; Social Security divorced spouse and survivor rule changes; military pension and VA disability division rules; filing fee, waiting period and self-help form changes by state; mediation, collaborative and online divorce platform rules and enforcement; and joint debt and credit rules after separation. Prefer state legislatures and courts, plan administrators, the IRS, SSA, DOL and established family finance reporting; ignore law-firm marketing, and never give individual legal advice. Put the state, agency or rule first in the title with the plain-language effect. Use high severity for an alimony or property law change taking effect within 90 days, a QDRO process change at a top-5 administrator, or a Social Security rule change. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
