Maximizing Your Flywire Retirement Plan Benefits Through Proper QDRO Planning

Dividing retirement assets during divorce can be one of the most complicated—and consequential—steps in reaching a fair financial outcome. If either spouse has savings in the Flywire Retirement Plan, it’s critical to handle the division correctly from the start. A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is required for any division of a 401(k)-type plan like this one.

At PeacockQDROs, we’ve completed many QDROs from start to finish. That means we don’t just draft the order and leave you to figure out the rest. We handle the drafting, preapproval (if applicable), court filing, submission, and follow-up with the plan administrator. That’s what sets us apart from firms that only prepare the document and hand it off to you.

Understanding the plan itself is the first step to properly dividing it. Here’s what we know about the Flywire Retirement Plan:

• Plan Name: Flywire Retirement Plan
• Sponsor: Flywire corporation
• Industry: General Business
• Organization Type: Business Entity
• Address: 141 Tremont Street, 10th Floor
• Plan Period: January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024
• Plan Start Date: January 1, 2011
• Status: Active
• Plan Number: Unknown (required in final order)
• EIN: Unknown (required in final order)
• Participants: Unknown
• Assets Under Management: Unknown

Because this is a 401(k) plan, it’s governed by ERISA and requires a carefully structured QDRO to divide it correctly. Missing details like the plan number and EIN will need to be filled in before final submission and filing.

Every retirement plan has its own nuances, but 401(k) plans such as the Flywire Retirement Plan present a few unique challenges that must be addressed in a divorce QDRO:

Each 401(k) plan has its own QDRO review process. Flywire corporation may require pre-approval before the order is entered with the court. Pre-approval avoids costly rejections. Here’s what we recommend:

• Request the plan’s QDRO guidelines before drafting
• Clearly identify whether division is by percentage, fixed dollar, or custom approach
• Include valuation date language (e.g., date of divorce, date of separation)
• Clarify whether investment earnings or losses will apply

Most divorcing spouses make common mistakes by trying to draft a QDRO themselves or using non-specific templates. We’ve compiled a list ofcommon QDRO errors to avoid.

QDRO processing time varies depending on the cooperation of parties, court workflow, and plan administrator responsiveness. You can find thefive biggest factors that determine timing here.

Most people underestimate how long it takes if left to do it themselves. With PeacockQDROs, average time to completion is often much shorter, with fewer surprises and less back-and-forth.

At PeacockQDROs, we don’t just send you a template and say “good luck.” We:

• Draft your order using your divorce judgment and plan rules
• Handle preapproval with the Flywire Retirement Plan (if required)
• File the order with your divorce court
• Submit the signed order to Flywire corporation’s plan administrator
• Confirm that funds are properly transferred to the alternate payee
