Quit claim deed in simple dissolution of marriage

Husband will deed house (quit claim) to wife. Husband wants wife to have written in the divorce agreement that wife will split proceeds in the event she decides to sell the home at a future date.

As long as both parties agree to this, will this present a conflict with the quit claim deed? Wife will word the agreement: ''at such time as residence is sold she will voluntarily agree to pay husband a sum equal to fifty percent of the proceeds of that sale''
