LUTION: I finally had a case where the spouse’s time-rule share of the military retirement benefits would be altered in the future, when the member actually retired, in such a way as to split the SBP premium equally. Since several of the components of the formula are unknown at this time, it was necessary to come up with a formula for doing so, rather than just hit-or-missing an actual altered percentage (which I confess had been my means of coping with this problem in prior cases). Comparing the range of possible benefits for spouses, the military system is the most restrictive and limited of all federal and private retirement systems. For example, it is not possible to (in ERISA terms) create a "separate interest" retirement for the spouse (only the benefit stream can be divided), and payments to the spouse are limited to 50% of"disposable pay" (discussed in more detail below). is a Participant hereunder and his/her last known mailing address is ______________________________ and his/her date of birth is _______________ and his/her social security number is _______________. The attorney for a spouse seeking a portion of a TSP account should specify that the award is to be paid along with interest and earnings on that award. If such language is in the order, the spouse will receive the same accumulations attributable to the spousal share that the participant receives as to the account; if such language is not included in the order, the spouse will receive no accumulations, interest, or earnings on the defined share through the date of distribution. A court order may also specify an interest rate to be applied to a distribution from a given date. Perhaps more useful is the member’s DD-2058 form on file with the military, which is the member’s "State of Legal Residence Certificate," or legal residency form. Again, questions must be asked about when the form was filed, and why, which may have greater or lesser relevance to traditional notions of residency and domicile. Federal law provides that members may not "accidentally" lose or acquire a residence or domicile solely by reason of military assignment,6 so indicia of intent are critical to such an analysis. The disconnect, and this discussion, is fully applicable to the military context, where (as discussed below) practitioners now are required to deal not only with the standard military retirement (a defined benefit plan), but also with the Thrift Savings Plan (a defined contribution plan). PRACTICE TIP: When money is owed for both retired pay and for child support, it is usually wise to get the retired pay as property started first (even if it means sending in two DD-2293 forms, a couple weeks apart). The reason to do so is that retired pay arrears cannot be garnished from future retired pay, but arrears in child support can - through the above-described Social Security garnishment order, a support obligee can get up to 65% of total retired pay, not just the 50% available under a DD-2293 direct payment procedure. So a practitioner taking the long-term approach should get the stream of property payments established quickly, and can always go back and slowly collect the support arrears by getting a garnishment order against an additional 15%. Note that, once established, such a garnishment order can remain in place for the long haul, even if the child emancipates, and the elimination of "current" support frees up in that 65% total that allows for payment of the arrears. Under the FLS proposal, an exactly equal time share is automatically considered to be "joint physical custody." However, it is imperative that if a time share falls within the 40% to 49% range, there should be no automatic or rebuttable presumption that joint physical custody is established. In those circumstances, the trial court must exercise its discretion as to whether a time share of 40% to 49% qualifies as joint physical custody under the specific facts and circumstances of the case before it.

P> When informed that Mr. Vaile - who by all accounts owed well over $100,000 (just in principal) in back child support while making a six-figure annual income - would be present in a Las Vegas courtroom, one might think that the child support enforcement bureaucracy would initiate a criminal prosecution for felony non-support under Nevada law.2 3. The court may rule that the obligor will not receive the parenting time adjustment for the next twelve-month period. After a twelve-month period during which the obligor did not receive the parenting time adjustment, the obligor may petition the court to modify the child support order. The obligor may be granted a prospective parenting time adjustment upon a showing that the obligor has actually exercised the threshold number of overnights in the preceding twelve months. No retroactive modification or credit from the child support guidelines amount shall be granted based on this section. SUP> Other courts have expressly found that reimbursement is required, whether or not there was any kind of indemnification or safeguard clause in the underlying decree.8 The cases from over a century ago (e.g., Lake v. Bender3) dealt with situations in which the then-new community property law did not affect the wealthier spouse’s accumulation of all property in his name despite long years of work by the other spouse. Oddly, the more widespread modern use of prenuptial agreements and similar contracts may have brought society full circle, returning to a situation in which one of two spouses can accumulate a large separate property estate while the other does not accumulate even a small community property estate, even during a long-term marriage. Next door in Nevada, community property ceases to accrue on the "date of divorce" There, the math would be 12 (years of marriage) ÷ 20 (years of service) x .5 (spousal share) x $1,000 (pension payment) = $300. The Supreme Court held that where a party to a divorce suit dies pending an appeal from a decree of divorce the appeal, according to the great weight of authority, abates with respect to the marital status, but not so far as property interests are involved. The wife contended that the district court striking of her affirmative defenses and cross-complaints was error that therefore in determining whether property rights are involved, the Court should consider the question as if the husband’s motion to strike had been denied. The Court held that the district court’s action in granting motion to strike was correct. Worse, the face of the opinion makes clear that the last time the parties had any unified intention, it was that the children lived in Japan and were only visiting the U.S. The mother simply changed her mind after coming here. If anything, those facts indicate that the "temporary absence" was from Japan, not from the U.S. (although some fault must fall to the father for not initiating the custody case within six months after the children left Japan). forward written documents to a member (some States permit written service in this matter of certain pre- or post-divorce pleadings, notices, or other documents). An attorney wishing to personally estimate present values can purchase computer programs that do the math involved quickly.2 Such programs often allow the user to plug in the assumptions to be used, such as life expectancy, presumed interest rate, etc. In any event, attorneys handling these cases in States that allow or require trading the present value of the retirement benefit must become well versed in all aspects of valuation, interest rate assumptions, and other factors involved. Failure to do so invites disaster at settlement or in court. The OPM regulations, for example, are virtually identical to the PERS language quoted above. The OPM rule flatly states that an order purporting to provide for payments of a spousal share upon eligibility for retirement will be rejected as "non-complying."1 But many States ¨C including this one ¨C call for CSRS and FERS benefits to be paid by the member upon eligibility.2 There is no known instance of an order requiring payments from the employee until retirement, and from OPM thereafter, being rejected by the OPM.3 If the bench will not report and sanction, and the Bar will not punish mis-use of client confidences, then perhaps the Supreme Court will have to revisit Leibowitz and Ciaffone, and conclude that the bench and Bar just could not be trusted to protect the freedom that they had been given. It would be a shame to injure the employment prospects of non-lawyer personnel and hinder the ability of law firms to hire the best possible staff, but if the cost is open season on client confidences, the price of allowing "screening" without enforcing its requirements is just too high. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court concluded while the wife had consulted with an attorney and was given advice concerning the property settlement agreement, that attorney did not represent the wife in the divorce and the wife signed the property settlement agreement in proper person. The Court concluded the attorney husband breached his duty of full and fair disclosure to the wife and that the agreement was fundamentally unfair. The Court noted similarities and differences between this case and Williams v. Waldman, 108 Nev. 466, 836 P.2d 614 (1992), reiterating fiduciary duty of a lawyer-husband who drafts a property settlement agreement, and that all such agreements would be "closely scrutinized" on appeal. Additionally, the lawyer has a duty of full and fair disclosure, and "the attorney must demonstrate by a higher standard of clear and satisfactory evidence that the transaction was fundamentally fair and free of professional overreaching." The Court held that the agreement provisions in this case "as a matter of law" showed the husband’s breach of his legal duties. The case was remanded to the district court for a new trial as to property division. The "bottom line" to all of the cases addressing early retirement, late retirement, disability, partition, bankruptcy, and death benefits, is that it is incumbent upon the attorneys, especially the attorney for the spouse, to anticipate post-divorce status changes and build that anticipation into the decree. Any failure to do so is an invitation to further litigation in some forum, between the parties, or directed at the attorney. Generally speaking, "wrongful removal" refers to the taking of a child from the person who was actually exercising custody of the child. "Wrongful retention" refers to the act of keeping the child without the consent of the person who was actually exercising custody.
