*804BRYAN, Judge,
dissenting.
The parties’ amended divorce judgment of July 28, 2006, provides, in pertinent part:
“The [former hjusband shall be solely liable for the mortgages secured by the [former marital residence], thereby indemnifying and holding the [former w]ife harmless for same. The [former w]ife shall execute all documents presented to her by the [former h]usband or his agent relating to any refinancing on the [former marital residence] necessary to fulfill the [former h]usband’s obligations to the [former w]ife.”
The amended divorce judgment contemplates that the former husband would necessarily refinance the mortgages in order to fulfill his obligations to the former wife. Therefore, the trial court’s judgment of October 6, 2008, merely enforced the amended divorce judgment and did not constitute an impermissible modification of that judgment. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
