OPINION 
 {¶ 1} Plaintiff-appellant Mark Gibbs is the surviving spouse of, and executor of the estate of, Rhonda Gibbs (formerly known as Rhonda Stanley). He appeals from an Amended Qualified Domestic Relations Order filed in the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas, Domestic Division, in Rhonda's divorce action against her previous husband, defendant-appellee William Stanley. The QDRO at issue gives William, as required by the decree of divorce, an interest in Rhonda's pension and retirement benefits. Gibbs contends that the trial court erred by permitting the filing of an amended QDRO, because he claims it violates the terms of the divorce decree. 
 {¶ 2} We conclude that the trial court did not err by permitting theiling of an amended QDRO. First, the amendment was ordered by an agreed order signed by attorneys for both parties. Second, the amendment did not modify the terms of the final decree. Finally, the amendment was warranted because the prior QDRO's filed in this case by Rhonda's attorneys did violate the terms of the final decree by altering William's interest in Rhonda's retirement benefits. Accordingly the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
