Dealing witn the retirement and pension benefits before finishing a divorceThe parties were never married. In the early fall of 1990, the mother decided to accept a job transfer. In September, the father, fearing that the mother might flee with the child, filed a complaint to establish custody. The father requested that he of receive joint legal custody, but that the mother receive primary physical custody. After a hearing, the district court granted the father temporary primary physical custody and ordered a custody evaluation. After a custody hearing, the district court concluded that the father provided the more stable living environment. During the next several months, the mother contended that the father prevented her from having phone contact and in-person visitation. 3) Payments under this section shall not be made m ore frequently than once each month, and the Secretary concerned shall not be required to vary normal pay and disbursement cycles for retired pay in order to com ply with a court order. The husband quit a well-paying job, moved to Nevada, took a lesser paying job, and filed for divorce. The wife appeared and contested the grounds. The district court refused to admit or consider evidence concerning the husband’s previous income and income earning ability or what other jobs might be available viewing such testimony as speculative and irrelevant. SUP> This view of the time rule essentially provides to the former spouse a "smaller slice of a larger pie" by getting a shrinking percentage of a retirement based upon post-divorce increases in the wage-earner’s salary and years in service.3 The next year, in Gemma v. Gemma,11 the Court reviewed a case involving the retirement benefits of a Highway Patrol officer and PERS participant. The Court reiterated that Nevada law permits the division of unvested retirement benefits, and discussed the two possible methods of distributing a spouse’s share of those benefits, by way of determining the present value of the pension and awarding half to each spouse, or by a "time rule" division of the benefits themselves, stating that the latter is preferred. The FLS previously proposed 8 and reasserts here that joint physical custody should not be considered by the trial court, unless the child resides with or is under the direct care and unsupervision of a parent for at least 40% of the time. Further, the trial court should not consider an anomaly occurring in one specific year - for example, leap year, illness, emergency or other exigency transiently altering the timeshare; the purpose of the 40% threshold is to define a base and ensure that each parent is routinely the custodian of a child for a meaningful and significant period of time. Specifically, the majority time rule approach comes closest to providing equity to successive spouses. Two consecutive spouses, during the first and last halves of an employee’s career, would be treated equally under the qualitative approach, but very differently under any approach that freezes the spousal share at the level of compensation being received by the employee at the time of divorce. Especially when the retirement of the member is to be many years in the future, it might be necessary, as a practical matter, to state in the Court order a presumed rate of cost of living increases, and include a reservation of jurisdiction to submit a later order, resetting the spousal percentage as a percentage of whatever the member actually receives at that time. Even so, for the next fifteen years, the member will have a different, lower percentage of COLA increase than the spouse will have. And if the member does not retire exactly on an anniversary of his retirement eligibility date, then the former spouse’s hypothetical COLA increase date will be on a different date then the member’s date, in perpetuity. The Nevada Supreme Court has expressed considerable sensitivity to balancing the triangle of needs and duties among clients, who have a right to expect that their information will remain confidential, non-attorney legal staff, who need reasonable employment opportunities, and law firms, which require the freedom to employ the most qualified job applicants. See Leibowitz v. District Court, 119 Nev. 523, 78 P.3d 515 (2003) (screening of non-attorney personnel is authorized so long as adequate provisions are made for the protection of client confidences); overruling in part Ciaffone v. District Court, 113 Nev. 1165, 945 P.2d 950 (1997). UP> This view of the time rule essentially provides to the former spouse an ever "smaller slice of a larger pie" by getting a shrinking percentage of a retirement that is increasing in size based upon post-divorce increases in the wage-earner¡¯s salary and years in service. This lesson is illustrated by the more recent Third Circuit case of Files v. ExxonMobil Pension Plan,2 where the parties’ property settlement agreement provided that the wife was awarded half the If you have been through a separation and it is time to find a divorce lawyer Ely, call on us for assistance with all your divorce planning needs.

In this case, Ms. Rivero alleged that the district court judge was biased in favor of Mr. Rivero because he is an attractive man and was biased against Ms. Rivero because she is an attractive woman. Ms. Rivero also alleged that the judge was determined to rule only for Mr. Rivero and that the judge was not interested in hearing the case on the merits. The only evidence of these allegations are statements in Ms. Rivero's motion to disqualify and her attorney's affidavit. The hearing transcripts do not reveal any bias on the district court judge's part. Thus, Ms. Rivero has not established legally cognizable grounds for disqualification. Id. Accordingly, we conclude that the district court judge did not abuse her discretion when she refused to recuse herself. We also conclude that the chief judge properly denied Ms. Rivero's motion to disqualify the district court judge without considering a reply from Ms. Rivero or holding a hearing on the motion because Ms. Rivero did not establish legally cognizable grounds for an inference of bias. Therefore, summary dismissal of the motion was proper. Id. The parties were never married. In the early fall of 1990, the mother decided to accept a job transfer.

During the next several months, the mother contended that the father prevented her from having phone contact and in-person visitation. As to improvements to real estate, the Court found that "usually" simple reimbursement without interest is the proper measure, unless the party making the claim can establish that appreciation of the property was due to the improvements, not the market, in which case the trial court may apportion appreciation to the contribution of the party making the claim.
