1Opinion of the CourtCalkins, J.

[¶ 1] Gail Thompson appeals from the judgment of the Superior Court (York County, Brennan, J.) which vacated the judgment of the District Court (York, Janelle, J.) clarifying a provision in the divorce judgment between Thompson and Paul Rothman regarding the distribution of one of the marital assets and remanded the attorney fee determination to the District Court.
