___________ No. 95-1020 ___________ In re: Ronald Ellis, * * Debtor. * * _____________________________ * * Appeal from the United States Susan Ellis, * District Court for the Eastern * District of Missouri. Appellee, * * v. * * Ronald Ellis, * * Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: May 18, 1995 Filed: December 18, 1995 ___________ Before BOWMAN, MAGILL, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ BOWMAN, Circuit Judge. Ronald Ellis appeals from the decision of the District Court affirming the Bankruptcy Court's decision holding nondischargeable in bankruptcy a $300,000 obligation Ronald owed to his former wife Susan Ellis by virtue of a dissolution decree. We reverse. Susan and Ronald Ellis were divorced in November 1989. At issue here is paragraph 1 of the attachment to the Ellises' Decree of Dissolution, which reads as follows: As and for her partial share of the parties' marital property, Petitioner [Susan] is awarded Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) to be paid to her by Respondent [Ronald], as her interest in Respondent's pension and profit sharing plan with Vantage Footwear, Inc., and Vantage Footwear, Inc. Said award shall be deemed a judgment lien against Respondent's interest in said plan and his interest in the stock of Vantage Footwear, Inc., which is held in or by said plan. Respondent shall execute a Qualified Domestic Relations Order consistent with this Decree and the Court retains jurisdiction thereof. On February 7, 1990, the above language was modified, for reasons not in the record, on Ronald's motion to alter and amend the judgment. The only change of substance was the deletion of the last sentence requiring Ronald to execute a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). In an opinion filed January 22, 1991, the Missouri Court of Appeals found that the $300,000 award was not an abuse of discretion. Ellis v. Ellis, 802 S.W.2d 546, 549 (Mo. Ct. App. 1991). The court of appeals modified the award, at Ronald's request, so that $50,000 was to be paid to Susan on July 1, 1991; thereafter, every six months, Ronald was to pay Susan $50,000 plus interest \until the amount is paid in full.\" Id.
