Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION The marriage relationship between Benjamin Corey Howell and Josephine Marida Howell was dissolved through a final divorce decree entered pursuant to an agreement incident to divorce, which amicably divided the marital property, responsibility for debt, and support and access to the parties' three children. The sole issue for our resolution is whether the qualified domestic relation order (QDRO) signed by the trial court impermissibly altered the interest in a 401(k) account awarded to Josephine in the agreed decree of divorce. We determine it did not. With respect to this matter, the agreement incident to divorce, as well as the divorce decree awarded Josephine: One-half of the net value of the 401(k) existing from the husband's employment after subtracting the loan balance (eg since the vested balance as of January 8, 2008 was $32,634.05 as set forth on the attached participant's summary and the loan balance was $5350.74 the wife would therefore receive $13,641.65 which is one-half of $27,283.31) more particularly described in a qualified domestic relations order signed by this court.
