Scott v. Scott

GRIFFIS, P.J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Darnice Scott appeals the chancery court’s amendment of an order that divided her ex-husband Jerry Scott’s retirement benefits under the Railroad Retirement Act. She argues that the chancellor erred in classifying the error in the order as a clerical mistake under Mississippi Rule of Civil Procedure 60(a).

FACTS

¶ 2. Darnice and Jerry were married on July 21, 1973.…
