2 Pre Mansell and Post Mansell DecreesA spousal share may be rolled over to an IRA or other eligible plan, in which case no taxes are withheld. Otherwise, the spouse is taxed on the distribution, and 20% is withheld. bsp; b. In 1991, Schwartz case, the Nevada Supreme Court held that in deciding whether to grant permission to move, the district courts in Nevada are supposed to balance the interest of the custodial parents freedom of movement against the best interests of the child and the competing interest of the non-custodial parent. Multi-part test: The decision in that case relied on the earlier decision of In re Marriage of Daniels,2 which held that to whatever degree direct enforcement of a divorce decree might be prevented by application of federal law, the member would receive any sums that had been awarded to the spouse as a resulting trusteeof her funds, and must pay them over to her. The language quoted was the principle espoused earlier by the California Supreme Court in Gillmore3 - that one party should not be allowed to defeat the others interest in retirement benefits "by invoking a condition wholly within his or her control." The parties were divorced in February 1977. A property settlement agreement was incorporated into the decree which distributed several parcels of real property and some personal property. As required, the husband executed several quit claim deeds to the wife. Several months after the entry of the decree, the parties reconciled, resumed cohabitation and held themselves out as husband and wife. They never remarried, but lived together until May 1979. In June 1979, the husband moved to modify the decree as it related to the division of the community property of the parties. The husband claimed there was an oral agreement that the wife would upon any subsequent separation, reconvey to him one-half of her real property. The request to modify was denied. The Texas cases provide a good example. If the original decree contained a residuary clause stating that un-mentioned property belonged to the non-member former spouse, then she could get her share of benefits silently omitted from decree. Buys v. Buys, 924 S.W.2d 369 (Tex. 1996). At least one intermediate appellate court held that the same result followed from total silence of the decree without a residuary clause, since Texas statutory law held that undivided assets were "held" by the parties as tenants in common. Lee v. Walton, 888 S.W.2d 604 (Tex. Ct. App. 1994), cert. denied, 516 U.S. 870 (1995). 65279;The cost of the Survivor Benefit Plan is deducted from the husband-retiree's gross pension income of $2200 per month before the net remainder is divided between the parties pursuant to the permanent orders. Thus, the expense is shared equally both parties. The attorney for the member could argue that the chance of the member retiring at all is so speculative that the court should defer the issue until the facts are known, enter an "if, as, and when" order, or refuse to assign any value to the benefits at all.2 The husband and wife entered into an oral property settlement; the wife waived child support, and the husband agreed to pay certain debts and pay $16,250 to the wife to equalize the division of community property. The agreement was made during a settlement conference held by the district court judge, but was not reduced to writing for a year, when the court entered a divorce decree nunc pro tunc adopting the agreement. In the interim, the husband had filed for bankruptcy, and was released from most of the financial obligations. The wife appealed, claiming that the husband's bankruptcy defrauded her out of her half of the community property. The wife moved to set aside the decree based upon fraud and upon the injustice inherent in enforcing the agreement. The district court denied the motion to set aside the decree on the ground that the relief was "barred by federal law." And considering as part of the business only the "enterprise good will" that is actually transferable to a hypothetical buyer goes some distance toward valuing the business as a business without blurring the lines between business valuation and an alimony analysis. This would largely eliminate the "double dip" angst occasionally seen - as in the debate at the recent Advanced Family Law Seminar on whether a goodwill component to a business valuation necessarily created a double dip when alimony was in issue. 7. Although there is some discussion in the record about other actions being brought by the parties in different jurisdictions, it does not appear that either party actually undertook any actions outside of the district court matter. Specifically, there is nothing in the record that Mother filed an action with the Attorney Generalfs Office, nor does the record reflect that Mother filed an action with any Court under the International Parental Kidnaping Crime Act ("IPKCA"). In Torwich (Abrom) v. Torwich,3 the court found the reduction of payments to the spouse to be an "exceptional and compelling circumstance" allowing redistribution of marital property four years after the divorce, despite the existence of procedural rules normally barring such redistributions of property. This case has been relied upon for the proposition that Mansell permits "other adjustments to be made" to take into account the reduction in a spousal share from the disability claim of a member, so as to prevent the inequity that would occur if a member was permitted to redirect money from the former spouse back to himself, without some form of compensation.4 The USFSPA set up a federal mechanism for recognizing state-court divisions of military retired pay, including definitions that were prospectively applicable, and rules for interpretation to be followed by the military pay centers in interpreting the law; later, regulations were adopted, and the pay centers were consolidated.7 All other jurisdictions have lined up with the national consensus. In 2000, New Mexico verified its 1990 holding in Toupal, supra, in Scheidel,4 rejecting a "federal law prohibits enforcement" argument and noting that there is no analytical difference between a member making a new disability application post-divorce, on the one hand, and increasing an award that existed upon divorce, on the other. That court, like many others, reinvented the core concept of Gillmore: "one spouse should not be permitted to benefit economically in the division of property from a factor or contingency that could reduce the other spouses share, if that factor or contingency is within the first partys complete control."5 Even on economic issues, it is virtually a given that the full range of damages to a left-behind parent, and to the child, is not known at the time of the childs recovery and return. Especially as to health effects, post-traumatic stress, and other fall-out from the experience, the left-behind parent and the child might not even have suffered the worst of their damages at the moment the child is returned. It would appear that there is a conflict between the holdings of Gemma and Fondi on the one hand ("the employee spouse cannot by election defeat the nonemployee spouses interest in the community property by relying on a condition solely within the employee spouses control") and the 1988 holding in O'Hara on the other (the "community property interests of a nonemployee spouse do not limit the employees freedom to agree to terms of retirement benefits"). PAN style="FONT-FAMILY: TimesNewRoman"> It is worth pausing to note that the various different retirement schemes, public and private, have a dizzying array of survivorship vehicles, which range from going into effect automatically unless specific steps are timely taken to prevent it, to being lost forever by silence unless very specific steps are timely taken to preserve them. P> (4) No other state with jurisdiction. This provision was intended to act as a "catch-all" in the event no other state could exercise jurisdiction under the first three predicates. Because typically at least one state had and would assert either home state or significant connection jurisdiction, this section had limited application. The husband had a life insurance policy through his employment. The insurance policy was purchased through a payroll deduction of $3.30 per month from the husbands salary, and all such deductions were made after the husbands marriage. A total $66 had been deducted for such insurance at the time of his death. The husbands sons were listed as the beneficiaries. The husband died intestate. The district court awarded the proceeds to the wife. In this case, however, the Court found that the plan documents explicitly provided that the plan would pay benefits to a participants designated beneficiary, and included straight-forward forms and procedures for any changes in the designation of the named beneficiary. Williams designation of Liv as his beneficiary was made in the way required; Livs waiver was not. The Court decided that in those circumstances, plan administrators should not be forced "to examine a multitude of external documents that might purport to affect the dispensation of benefits," and be drawn into litigation over the meaning and enforceability of purported waivers. In 1967, the husband and wife and with community funds, acquired title to a family residence as "husband and wife, as joint tenants." In June 1973, the husband filed for divorce claiming the residence was community property. In August 1973, the wife filed her answer claiming the residence was community. In September 1973, the husband executed to his sister and brother-in-law a promissory note for $4,500. The promissory note was secured by a recorded deed of trust using the residence as collateral. In December 1973, the district court, approved the property settlement agreement whereby the wife received the above residence "subject to encumbrances of record." When she tried to sell the residence, the wife was made aware of the encumbrance on the property. The wife then filed an action to quiet title on the basis that the encumbrance upon the community property without her consent violated NRS 123.230. The district court ruled in the wifes favor. The district court found that there was substantial evidence to how that notwithstanding the form of the deed, the parties intended the residence to be community, and because the wife had no knowledge of the encumbrance placed upon the property during the divorce, she did not ratify the encumbrance by signing the property settlement agreement. The husband/attorney drafted a property settlement agreement providing, inter alia,that he would receive the law practice as his separate property and that the wife waived any interest in his income for the years 1990, 1991, and 1992. The wife had an attorney review the property settlement agreement on her behalf, but she signed the agreement in proper person. The husband and his attorney, both signed the agreement. In December, the husband filed a complaint for divorce with the district court through his counsel, the wife filed her answer in proper person, and the district court heard the matter and issued a decree of divorce that same day. The wife timely filed a Motion under NRCP 60(b) to vacate the decree and for a new trial alleging that the property settlement agreement was fundamentally unfair and that the husband had coerced her into signing the agreement. The wife submitted an affidavit stating that the husband had threatened her not to retain an attorney for the divorce action because he would lose his law practice, face imprisonment and resort to leaving the country due to tax evasion. The district court refused to set aside the agreement specifically finding that the wife had independent competent counsel to represent her and that the husband did not coerce her into signing the agreement. A spousal share may be rolled over to an IRA or other eligible plan, in which case no taxes are withheld. Otherwise, the spouse is taxed on the distribution, and 20% is withheld. The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court noted that NRS 125.180 gave the district courts discretionary power to make an order directing the entry of judgment for the amount of arrears. The Court held that the district courts exercise of discretion not to enter judgment for both alimony and child support arrears was not an abuse of discretion where the movant would not have benefitted by an uncollectible judgment and the obligor would have been prejudiced in the eyes of his military superiors. The Court noted that the wife still could file an independent action on the judgment because the judgment of divorce was final. P> 11 Of course, Nevada principles of family law will govern all cases, regardless of the origins of any concept or definition borrowed from the statutory or case law of a sister jurisdiction. It might save some litigation, and perhaps prevent another appeal, for this Court to specify that Nevada statutory and case law is controlling, and the law of States from which terms are borrowed are persuasive authority only. For a divorce occurring while a member is still on active duty, there are even more variables. First is the uncertainty that the member will retire at all. The precise length of service cannot be known - economic conditions, the defense budget, and world crises all could change the date of separation of a member by several years. Likewise, it is usually impossible to know the rank that such an active duty member will achieve. Each of these factors affects the "present value" assigned to the spousal share. C) the court order or other documents served with the court order identify the member concerned and include, if possible, the social security number of such member; and When the former spouse found out about it, she tried to change the orders, but the retirement plan refused. When the worker dies, her benefits will simply stop. A malpractice action against the divorce lawyer is highly likely. Notably, the federal law provides that such a stay request does notconstitute the making of a general appearance and does not waive or relinquish anydefenses otherwise available, whether substantive or procedural.1 1) The basic child support obligation is multiplied by 1.5 to arrive at a shared parenting basic child support obligation. The shared parenting basic child support obligation is apportioned to each parent according to his or her income. In turn, a child support obligation is computed for each parent by multiplying that parent's portion of the shared parenting child support obligation by the percentage of time the child spends with the other parent. The respective basic child support obligations are then offset, with the parent owing more basic child support paying the difference between the two amounts. The transfer for the basic obligation for the parent owing less basic child support shall be set at zero dollars. The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court noted the district court had broad discretion to accept or reject the masters report. The Court concluded that both Pereira and VanCamp had vitality and could be applied as circumstances warranted. The Court noted that the Van Camp method was inherently fair, and held that the district courts application of the Van Camp method was substantially supported by the evidence. The case also gave tacit recognition to the proper methodology for conducting a Pereira calculation. The separate property portion is allocated a fair return. This fair return is the multiplied against the separate property portion. This number is then multiplied against the years of the marriage. Once the National Center has located an attorney willing to review the case, it will send the attorney a packet of available information to assist the attorney in filing the Petition. The packet should also reveal at least some evaluation of the level of flight risk or risk of physical harm to the child posed by the circumstances, which should inform counsel as to whether or not it is necessary to request the childs physical removal from the abducting parent by means of a Warrant in Lieu of a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Tell-tale signs are indications of an unbalanced abducting parent, one who is known to have firearms, or who has a history of physical violence.2 Arguments have also been made for a Warrant based on the risk of flight. The specific considerations regarding seeking a Warrant are discussed in greater detail below. The following paragraph states that Cost of Living Adjustments are specifically contemplated, and accrue to both the Member's and the Spouse's portions of the benefits. An extremely short per curiam opinion. A custody change from mother to father under Murphy standard upheld where district court indicated that the father was fit, and it could be implied that the mother was not fit, and that the best interests of the child would be served by placing her in her fathers care. It is possible that a spouse may not even know how to find a member stationed elsewhere. With a full name and Social Security Number, however, some footwork may be able to track a reassigned member from the last known duty station to a current posting. The Legal Assistance Attorney at the military installation nearest the spouse (or the members last posting) may be able to provide the necessary information.2 There is also a Worldwide Military Locator Service3 for each branch of service, which may help locate a member or 1. If the parent receiving the parenting time adjustment is granted one hundred twenty-one (121) or more overnights of parenting time per twelve-month period with a child, or an average of one hundred twenty-one (121) overnights with all applicable children, a reduction to the child support obligation of the parent may be rnade as set forth in this section.
