I would approve the well reasoned opinion of the district court and the conclusion that the trial court was without jurisdiction to modify the agreement.
Furthermore, I believe that the provision in the property settlement in Abernethy v. Fishkin, 638 So.2d 160 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994), that the husband would take no action which would defeat the wife's right to receive twenty-five percent of his retirement pay distinguished that case from this one. Thus, I do not believe that there is a direct conflict so as to provide us with jurisdiction. I would discharge this case on the basis that jurisdiction was improvidently accepted.
OVERTON, J., concurs.
