Opinion filed September 3, 2021

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, John D.W. Beamer, Judge.

Michael M. Brownlee, of The Brownlee Law Firm, P.A., Orlando, for Appellant.

James Ippoliti, and Scott Widerman, of Widerman Malek, PL, Melbourne, for Appellee.

HARRIS, J.

Richard C. Moore (“Former Husband”) appeals the trial court’s Qualified Domestic Relations Order (“QDRO”) and Amended Qualified Domestic Relations Order (“Amended QDRO”). Former Husband argues,

2 and Appellee, Sally R. Moore (“Former Wife”), concedes, that the QDROs violate the terms set forth in the final judgment of dissolution of marriage and the incorporated marital settlement agreement entered in 2003. We agree. Accordingly, we reverse the QDROs and remand to the trial court for entry of a QDRO in compliance with the original final judgment. See Blaine v. Blaine, 872 So. 2d 383 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004). REVERSED and REMANDED.

LAMBERT C.J. and TRAVER, J., concur.
