SECTION 590:30-1-6. Termination of a qualified domestic relations order

(a)   A qualified domestic relations order, whether for provision of marital property or child support, will terminate when the System has fully met the provisions of the order. The obligation of the System to pay an alternate payee pursuant to any qualified domestic relations order shall cease upon the death of the member.

(b)   In the event a qualified domestic relations order requires the benefits payable to an alternate payee to terminate upon the remarriage of the alternate payee, the System shall terminate said benefit only upon the receipt of a certified copy of a marriage license, or a copy of a certified order issued by the court that originally issued said qualified domestic relations order declaring the remarriage of said alternate payee.

(c)   If the qualified domestic relations order is for continuing child support obligations, the order shall cease upon the death of a minor child. If the qualified domestic relations order is for arrearages owed for child support, the order shall not cease upon the death of a minor child.
