TRS may be directed by a court, via a Family Law Order (FLO), to distribute a portion of your retirement benefits to an ex-spouse. A FLO must comply with all applicable law and TRS must approve each FLO submitted.

Please review the following documents for examples of how FLOs are constructed:

Example C: TRS Sample Family Law Order - Applies to Retired Participant Who Elected a Normal Form Benefit

Example D: TRS Sample Family Law Order - Applies to Retired Participant Who Elected Option A, B, C, D, or E and the Alternate Payee Is the Joint Annuitant

Example E: TRS Sample Family Law Order - Applies to Retired Participant Who Elected Option A, B, or C, and the Joint Annuitant Is Not Also the Alternate Payee
