Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Longview, Texas - Divorce question. Attorney that did the decree, didn't follow the instructions given to him by the wife, his client, and the language he entered regarding a retirement settlement said something totally different, and now they are trying to get it modified. It was done in 2008 originally.

She was misled by the attorney that it said what she wanted it to say, but it actually doesn't.
