Description
Lillie Darlene Pate, appellant, appeals a Clarification Order and a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) interpreting the divorce decree of her and her ex-husband, A.J. Pate, appellee. The parties were divorced by an agreed Decree of Divorce signed on October 6, 1982. As part of the division of the parties property, appellant was awarded an interest in appellees pension benefits accumulated through his employment with Tenneco Oil ("Tenneco"). Subsequent to the entry of the decree, the federal government enacted the Retirement Equity Act of 1984 which requires the entry of a QDRO to effectuate the payment of benefits awarded an employees former spouse pursuant to a divorce decree. Tenneco advised appellant that it could not make the benefits payments without the QDRO and also requested that she get the decree clarified. Appellant then moved for a Clarification Order and QDRO, which the court entered. Appellant now appeals from those orders. We reverse and remand.
