To cash out your IRA as part of a divorce settlement, you will need to obtain a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) from the court. This legal document will outline how the IRA funds should be divided between you and your ex-spouse. Once the QDRO is approved by the court and submitted to the IRA custodian, you can proceed with cashing out your portion of the funds. It is important to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to understand any potential tax implications of cashing out your IRA.
