The trial court rendered judgment ending Jante Langan and Eric Langan’s marriage, dividing community property, and assessing child support.

We affirm.

[¶1] David Meier appeals from an amended divorce judgment awarding Gayla Meier a share of his Tier II railroad retirement benefits.

We reverse the amended judgment.
