Divison of Military Retirement Benefits In Divorce Section IX Subsection A
A Effects on Military Retirement Benefits from Civil Service RetirementsAfter that expansion of guideline support, courts are directed to offset each parents obligation by the others time share in a six-step process similar to the various steps set out in the original Rivero Opinion. At the end of that process, courts are to consider a variety of "fudge factors" for low-income parties and wide income disparity between parties, and make subjective adjustments accordingly. If this hypothetical employee had a standard longevity retirement (or any other standard defined benefit plan1) the above wage history would make his average monthly salary during his last three years service $4,014.21, and a normal retirement formula2 would make his retired pay $2,007.11. The Court noted in apparent dicta that "because no support obligation is imposed upon the parties during the (cohabiting) relationship, no spousal maintenance can be when and if the relationship ends." Id. at 423. Fern v. United States1 was an unusual case in that the defendant was not a former spouse but the United States itself. The suit sought to have the USFSPA declared invalid to the extent that it entitled the government to reduce the retired pay flowing to the members themselves. In other words, the members contended that, irrespective of any award to any former spouse, the full sum of retired pay should be paid to the members. It alleged unconstitutional "taking" of property in violation of the Fifth Amendment, an unconstitutional impairment of contracts with the United States (by which the members contended that they alone were to receive the entirety of their retirement benefits), and that spousal awards under the USFSPA were due process violations. Finding that the relevant "judgment" was not the trial court determination but the final judgment achieved after appeal, the Nevada Supreme Court held that the fee-shifting provisions in the offer of judgment rules applied, and directed the district court to assess fees for all efforts, at the district and appellate levels, incurred by the offeror after the offer was made. b) Shall, to the extent practicable, make an equal disposition of the community property of the parties, except that the court may make an unequal disposition of the community property in such proportions as it deems just if the court finds a compelling reason to do so and sets forth in writing the reasons for making the unequal disposition. It seems reasonable that an order establishing alimony could be couched as terminating or reducing at the date predicted for work to cease (and alimony payable to be adjusted accordingly), with the burden being explicitly placed on one side or the other to file a motion if the expectation was for some reason not fulfilled. Emphasis added]. In this case, as detailed above, the people "may not elect" until 2010; it is impossible to do so any sooner, and the appointment should logically be considered to extend until such time as such an election can be held. Much of the final version of the bill merely restated existing law - such as codification of the time rule, or the provision permitting a court order "upon agreement of the parties." Much of the rest is simply inapplicable to anything. For example, paragraph 1(b) is built around the phrase "In determining the value of an interest in or entitlement to a pension or retirement benefit . . . ." The In June 1998, the father was ordered to pay $510 per month in support. The district court also reduced $9,475 in arrears to judgment. In April 2001, the State charged the father with felony nonsupport under NRS 201.020 after he failed to make any support payments as ordered. The father asserted an affirmative defense under NRS 201.051, claiming that he was unable to pay support because he could not secure sufficient employment while incarcerated because he was incarcerated for 21 of the 33 months he was ordered to pay support and therefore was unable to pay support. However, while not incarcerated, the father failed to pay support as well. The father also argued that his arrears did not exceed the $10,000 threshold set out in NRS 201.020, and thus, he was not guilty of felony nonsupport. The jury found the father guilty of felony nonsupport. The district court sentenced the father to imprisonment in the Nevada State Prison for a maximum of 36 months with a minimum parole eligibility of 12 months, but suspended the sentence and placed him on probation for 3 years. Said Order is subject to review by the Administrator and if approved by the Administrator is effective on the date set forth herein. If this Order is determined by the Administrator to be a QDRO then the Plan Administrator shall, within a reasonable period of time after delivery of this Order, notify the Participant and the Alternate Payee of such determination. If the Administrator determines that the Order does not qualify as a QDRO the Administrator shall, within a reasonable period of time, notify the Participant and the Alternate Payee of the reasons for such determination and shall, if the Participant is to retire within 90 days of the Order maintain the benefit under Option 2 as set forth in NRS 286.545, for a period of 90 days from the date of the Participantfs retirement to allow modification of this Order for qualification. This Court is thus compelled by its holding in Haggerty and other decisions to explore whether there is an interpretation of the words "next general election" that would not enforce one Constitutional provision by means of frustrating another. The fact that literal enforcement of one Constitutional provision would hinder application of another necessarily creates an ambiguity, and among this Courts rules for statutory construction are the principles that if a statute is ambiguous, courts should attempt to follow the legislatures intent, and "no part of a statute should be rendered nugatory, nor any language turned to mere surplusage, if such consequences can properly be avoided."3 B> This portion of the materials, and of this seminar, are not intended to be a general overview of division of retirement benefits in divorce. Indeed, it would not be possible in the time allotted to do justice to such a general survey. SPAN> Wallace v. Wallace, 112 Nev. 1015, 922 P.2d 541 (1996)Before a district court may grant grandparental visitation, it must receive evidence and consider all of the factors noted in NRS 125A.340(1). After that expansion of guideline support, courts are directed to offset each parents obligation by the others time share in a six-step process similar to the various steps set out in the original Rivero Opinion. At the end of that process, courts are to consider a variety of "fudge factors" for low-income parties and wide income disparity between parties, and make subjective adjustments accordingly. 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 After distinguishing the doctrine of equitable adoption as used in Frye for child support from its use in establishing legal custody, the Court reversed and held that "for purposes of determining legal parentage in a custody dispute between biological and nonbiological parents, Hermanson holds that NRS 126.051 is the applicable statute." Id. at 289. The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court substantially revised Jensen v. Jensen, 104 Nev. 95, 753 P.2d 342 (1988). The Court noted that in 1984, Congress amended I.R.C. 152. The amendment provided that the custodial parent should receive the exemption. The amendment also provided several exceptions to the rule. One exception was that the custodial parent may waive the right to the exemption for any given year. The Court noted that the district should have broad discretion over the issue. The Court held that it was not overly burdensome to execute the appropriate documentation. A court which is an appropriate court to exercise initial or modification jurisdiction regarding child custody may nevertheless decline to do so, if the court determines that this is an "inconvenient forum" under NRS 125A.365. The statute reads: In April, 2007, AOC staff concluded that the personnel previously doing the calculations had erred, for every year since the first calculation, because multiplying the prior year's number by the annual CPI effectively "compounded" the CPI adjustment. By use of some recalculation that does not seem immediately obvious, the AOC posted a chart to go into effect as of July 1, The problem with reading the statute to mean exactly what it says is that any such interpretation would be in direct conflict with the Nevada Supreme Courts mandates in Gemma/Fondi/Sertic that the member must make direct payments to the former spouse upon eligibility for retirement, whether or not the member retires. The law on this point is so clear that, today, it would probably be malpractice to not provide for payments to the former spouse upon the employees eligibility for retirement. The Family Law Section requests that this court define all types of legal and physical custody to create a continuum in which it is clear where one type of custody ends and another begins. It argues that such definitions will provide much needed clarity and certainty in child custody law. Our discussion of child custody involves two distinct components of custody: legal custody and physical custody. The term "custody" is often used as a single legal concept, creating ambiguity. NRS 125.460, NRS 125.490 (using the term "joint custody"). To emphasize the distinctions between these two types of custody and to provide clarity, we separately define legal custody, including joint and sole legal custody, and then we define physical custody, including joint physical and primary physical custody. SPAN> the UCCJA, a significant connection custody determination may have to be enforced even if it would be denied enforcement under the PKPA. The UCCJEA prioritizes home state jurisdiction in Section 201. So if a $500 installment of child support remained totally unpaid for a month, a penalty of $4.17 ($500 x 10% 12) accrued, calculated on a monthly basis.4 If it still remained unpaid the next month, another such penalty accrued, and so forth. Throughout the 1990s, such penalty calculations were done by spreadsheet and submitted as exhibits to child support motions.5 To my knowledge, every judge who ever heard a child support motion where a penalty was so calculated approved the reasoning, methodology, and totals, over all objections that have ever been made. In approximately 1916, the husband purchased a car. The sheriff, acting under a writ of attachment, attached an automobile in an action to recover a money judgment against the husband. The action was instituted to recover the possession of the car, upon the theory that it was the separate property of the wife. The wife testified that the husband gave her the car, and that she traded it in for another car paying the difference, and in 1920 traded in the second car for the car in question a difference of $1,700 in cash. The wife claimed that the major portion of the cash she used in paying the difference in these trades was savings from money her husband gave her with which to run the house. The district court held that the monies advanced by the husband for household expenses were not separate property. 4. Is there any reason to believe that either the state or federal court has any bias against petitioner, counsel, or the proper decision of Hague Convention cases? PAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> 4 F. Supp. 2d at 414. In finding that the provisions of state law had been satisfied, justifying the ex parte removal of the children from the mother, the court went on to discuss the application of the "best interests" concept in the provisional remedy setting. Recognizing that the "best interests" standard does not apply to a determination of the merits of the Convention claim, the court held, nevertheless, that the "best interest" standard is applicable to the discrete determination of whether a provisional remedy is proper. In November 1921, the wife filed for divorce and requested sole custody of their child and for support. In February 1922, the husband bequeathed all of his property to a third person, with the express condition that she pay to his daughter, $50 per month until the daughter should emancipate. The father also bequeathed his automobile to his daughter with the condition that should she or her guardian attempt to break the will she was to receive only $5. In June 1922, the husband died. The mother then filed a petition requesting that $1,817 in insurance proceeds be collected by the executrix and be declared exempt and set apart for the daughters use. The district court ordered that the money be set aside for the daughter. The executrix appealed. The daughter was living with the father at the time of death. The question for the Court was the daughter a member of the fathers family. A decree was incorporating a property settlement agreement from a month earlier. The agreement contained a "financial analysis" listing assets and assigning values. Despite a clause in agreement that the valuations were "not relied on by the parties" wife filed an original complaint two months after divorce, seeking rescission based upon intentional misrepresentation. District courts dismissal under NRCP 12(b)(5) reversed.
