What would the difference be,if

the wording on a marriage settlement agreement said( as of)

and that part was marked out and

the word put in was(concluded)?

spouse left 1/21/07,he wants my

part of the DROP be started when he left not when the paperwork was filed.What is the monetary

loss with the changing of the words

and he will have 30 yrs service.
