David F. Thomson, Appellant v. Marjorie W. Thomson, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of David Thomson’s motion to amend a QDRO governing the division of his public-employee retirement benefits. Because the settlement agreement did not clearly require use of the salary data available at the time of divorce, Marjorie’s share was properly calculated from David’s actual retirement benefit using his highest salary data at retirement. The court concluded that the agreement’s references to the marital portion, marriage-period service credit, and post-separation property did not establish a contrary requirement.
