OPINION

EASTAUGH, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

Camille McVey requested enforcement of a property settlement agreement provision which obliged her ex-husband to name her as the recipient of his civil service pension’s survivorship benefits. Because federal regulations render her ineligible for those benefits, we affirm the.superior court’s decision not to enforce the provision. But because both parties were unaware of the federal regulations when they entered into their agreement, we conclude that equity demands modification of their agreement under Civil Rule 60(b)(6).
