Syllabus

¶0 Years after his divorce was final, a firefighter retired and elected to participate in the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement Plan B program. The firefighter's former spouse sought to enforce the parties' divorce decree, requiring the firefighter to pay her a portion of his Plan B benefits. The district court ruled in favor of the former spouse and ordered the firefighter to pay his former spouse a portion of the funds in the Plan B account. The Court of Civil Appeals reversed. This Court granted certiorari. We hold that when a vested firefighter selects the Plan B option post-divorce and the divorce decree does not specify the allocation of these funds, the Plan B account is divisible marital property to the extent that any funds in the account are attributable to the marital years. COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS' OPINION VACATED; DISTRICT COURT'S JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
