Syllabus

A trial court that issues a divorce decree retains jurisdiction to clarify ambiguities in that final decree, and the trial court in this case did not abuse its discretion when it found that an ex-wife's rights under her divorce decree to a portion of her ex-husband's \retirement benefits\ entitled her to receive disability payments that the ex-husband was receiving in lieu of retirement benefits. Also, a trial court's order clarifying an ambiguous term in an earlier divorce decree is a final and appealable order.
