First, there are two things you need to read:
First is this webpage:
https://www.tsp.gov/lifeevents/spouse/separation.shtml
Second is this booklet, which is published by the TSP about Court Orders:
https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/formspubs/tspbk11w.pdf
I am very sorry to hear of your breakup.
The court order must be VERY SPECIFICALLY WORDED in order to be valid- and the TSP won't pay until they verify it is complete and correct. See the booklet.
If they DO decide it is complete, correct, and valid, they usually disperse about 60 days later. See the booklet for details.
Good luck.
