The letter accompanying the waiver indicated the fee the administrator will charge. Of course there is also penalties and taxes if the split is realized as income. I am not an L. This is my rudimentary understanding from my sitch.
In my sitch additional funds are being held in trust by her attorney to pay for the penalties and additional taxes. That is what delayed all of this when X decided to change how she receives the split. Increasing the amount she realizes as income increased the amount she must pay and the documents needed to account for that as I should not be liable for her decision to change the distribution from what the court ordered.
5K is not out of the realm of possibility if taxes and penalties are factored in. It actually seems low. Of course that is dependant on the amount split.
BITS Me 55, ACK, when did that happen? Doesn't feel like 55 D 30 S 27
