Appeal From Aiken County

Unpublished Opinion No. 2011-UP-181

REVERSED AND REMANDED

Leon E. Green, of Aiken, for Appellant.

Gregory P. Harlow, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Joseph A. Marshall (Husband) appeals the family court's denial of his Rule 60(b), SCRCP, motion.� Husband argues the family court erred in (1) denying his motion to set aside a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) on the ground the judgment was satisfied and (2) failing to address the merits of his motion because the issue warranted equitable relief.� We reverse and remand.[1]

Rule 60(b)(5), SCRCP, states:

On motion and upon such terms as are just, the court may relieve a party or his legal representative from a final judgment, order, or proceeding [if] the judgment has been satisfied, released, or discharged, or a prior judgment upon which it is based has been reversed or otherwise vacated, or it is no longer equitable that the judgment should have prospective application.�

We hold the family court erred in dismissing Husband's motion on the basis it was an improper procedural vehicle to address Husband's concerns.� Rule 60(b)(5) expressly allows a party to petition the court to set aside compliance with an order if a judgment has been satisfied.� Here, Husband filed his Rule 60(b)(5) motion to seek relief from enforcement of the QDRO because he alleged he previously complied with the May 8, 2007 consent order by transferring $273,975 to Carrie C. Marshall through an individual retirement account.� Therefore, an open legal question exists as to whether Husband has fully satisfied the terms of the consent order, an issue that is directly addressed by Rule 60(b)(5).� Accordingly, we reverse the family court's ruling and remand the case to the family court for a hearing on the merits of Husband's Rule 60(b)(5) motion.� �

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

FEW, C.J., THOMAS and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
