Still, Welfare has come up with a plausible, although illogical, alternative interpretation of the words used. And if a statute is ambiguous, a number of rules of statutory construction come into play. Statutory interpretation should avoid meaningless or unreasonable results. When construing a specific portion of a statute, the statute should be read as a whole, and, where possible, the statute should be read to give meaning to all of its parts. Statutes with a protective purpose should be liberally construed in order to effectuate the intended benefits.1 The wife obtained a divorce, and the property was divided and she was awarded alimony. The wife appealed claiming that the comparative value of the property awards and alimony were so out of proportion in favor of the husband as to be unfair. The Supreme Court declined to adopt the wife's position and concluded that the property awards and alimony were supported by substantial evidence was not prepared to saythatthe district court abused its discretion. Second, we conclude that the district court abused its discretion by modifying the custody timeshare arrangement without making specific findings offact that the modification was in the child's best interest. Culberston v. Culbertson, 91 Nev. 230, 533 P.2d 768 (1975) The parties were divorced February 1972. The mother was awarded custody of the four minor children. In December 1972, the father asked for and received an order to show cause why the wife should not be held in contempt and custody be changed. The district court found that the mother had continued her relationship with her boyfriend and had allowed and encouraged her boyfriend to remain in her home far into the evening and early morning hours. The district court further found that the mother had continually engaged in illicit conduct in her home when the children were in close proximity to her bedroom and that the older children were of a "discerning age and aware that an unmarried man slept in the same bedroom with the mother at times." The record also showed that when the mother’s boyfriend came to the home and left the house at late hours that it disturbed at least one of the older children. Evidence was also presented that the school work of the two older children had deteriorated while they were in the mother’s custody. The district court concluded that the wife was in contempt and ordered that custody be changed.

A person receiving effective servce of a court order unde r this section shal, as soon as possble, but not later than 30 days after the date on which effective service is made, send a written notice of such court order (together with a copy of such order) to the member affected by the court order at his last known address. Accordingly, if it is deemed necessary to pick up the child at the time of service of the Petition for Return, to secure the child’s safety during the pendency of proceedings, counsel should prepare and file a separate Petition for Warrant in Lieu of Writ of Habeas Corpus, a proposed Order for Issuance of Warrant in Lieu of Writ of Habeas Corpus, and a proposed Warrant in Lieu of Writ of Habeas Corpus. If the court hearing the matter is unfamiliar with procedures, it might also be a good idea to either flesh out the Petition for Warrant, specifying in detail the grounds under which it may be issued, or file a separate brief on the subject. 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. American Bar Association committee recommendations to Congress to make division of retirement benefits non-dischargeable were apparently responsible in part for enactment of the prior subsection (a)(15) exceptions to discharge, but a detailed exploration of those provisions is beyond the scope of these materials. In a nine year overlap case, the former spouse has a putative 22.5% interest (i.e., 9 ÷ 20 x ½). Some courts, seeking to make their awards enforceable, will characterize the property award Still, Welfare has come up with a plausible, although illogical, alternative interpretation of the words used. And if a statute is ambiguous, a number of rules of statutory construction come into play. Statutory interpretation should avoid meaningless or unreasonable results.

Statutes with a protective purpose should be liberally construed in order to effectuate the intended benefits.1 The parties were divorced October 1990. The mother was awarded primary custody. In April 2000, the mother filed a move motion. The father opposed and a hearing was held. The mother testified that she could earn more money in in New Jersey, working for her sister and brother-in-law’s company as a sales and marketing administrator, and having the potential of qualifying for bonuses and even possibly acquiring a future equity share. The mother and child lived in a 900 square foot trailer, however, if she and the child moved to New Jersey, they would initially live with her sister and brother-in-law in their 3,000 square foot, four bedroom house. The mother testified that she hoped to rent a house. The mother also testified that she planned to enroll the parties’ daughter at a school for gifted children. The mother testified that the school was superior to anything offered where she lived. There was also extended family that lived in the area and there were no relatives where she was currently living. The father opposed the move because he believed that moving the child from regular visitation was not in the child’s best interest. The district court concluded that NRS 125C.200 violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The district court found that NRS 125C.200 implicitly restricted a custodial parent's fundamental right to travel and that no compelling state interest was satisfied by the restriction. Because of that the mother did not need the court’s permission to move. The district court also found that even if the statute was constitutional, the mother met her burden for moving. 7)(A) If a former spouse receiving payments under this subsection with respect to a member or former member referred to in paragraph (2)(A) marries again after such payments begin, the eligibility of the former spouse to receive further payments under this subsection shall terminate on the date of such marriage. The wife filed for divorce in 1977, and trial eventually commenced in 1980. During trial, the parties indicated that they could probably settle the matter. The court stated that it would grant the divorce and bifurcated the property settlement issues. Neither party objected. At the status check six days later, the wife’s counsel informed the court that an agreement had not been reached and requested that the decree not be granted. The husband objected and the matter was continued. After another week the matter was still unresolved. The district court then granted the wife a decree of divorce and ordered that the parties’ community property rights would be determined with the aid of a master. The husband later appealed. In the decade following Mansell, the focus shifted from looking for "indemnification" or other language that such recharacterization is prohibited, to looking for some language 3) If the parenting time is equal, the expenses for the children are equally shared and the adjusted gross incomes of the parents also are equal, no support shall be paid. The mother initiated adoption proceedings. In March, an adoption agency contacted the father and his mother, who allegedly stated that they would go along with the mother’s choice. The baby was born on May 29, and released to the adoptive mother. In June, the adoptive mother filed for termination of the father’s parental rights. He personally appeared at the termination hearing to oppose it, and was confirmed as the biological father. In August, he filed a request for custody or visitation. In February 1997, the father’s request for visitation was denied. In April, the lower court held an evidentiary hearing and terminated the father’s parental rights, finding jurisdictional grounds under NRS 128.105 for abandonment, risk of serious injury if returned to the father, and token efforts by the father. iv) The additional child-rearing expenses determined in subpart (iii) above are prorated between the parents according to each parent's percentage of income (PI). The PRP's share of these additional expenses is applied as an adjustment against the ARP's pro-rata share of the original BCSO. For instance, if the PRP's PI is forty percent (40%), the PRP's share of the additional expenses in the example above would be twelve dollars and six cents ($12.06) [$30.14 x 40%]. The twelve dollars and six cents ($12.06) is applied as a credit against the ARP's share of the BCSO, resulting in a child support obligation for the ARP of five hundred eighty-seven dollars and ninety-four cents ($587.94) [$1000 x 60% = $600 - $12.06]. with at least one party remaining in Nevada since the child left the State.1 Under the UCCJEA, determining the "home state" of the minor children is critical, because a court of that place has the right to determine child custody,2 unless it declines to do so.3 The official comments make it clear that if there is a home state, no other state should make an initial custody determination.4 The father had four children; two by one relationship, two by another. The father wanted the district court to apply formula of 31 percent for four children and then divide 31 percent by four to get his "per child rate of support." The father’s request was denied. These limitations override State long-arm rules, and must be satisfied in addition to any State law jurisdictional requirements. Cases lacking such jurisdiction can go forward, but they will not result in enforceable orders as to the retirement benefits. The statute effectively creates an additional jurisdictional requirement, which for lack of a better title can be called "federal jurisdiction." The cases continue to appear, although some states with published authority on the subject are not publishing the follow-up cases, apparently because they are not seen as particularly precedential.3 As a matter of logic and math, where the member has a free survivorship interest in the spouse’s life, in addition to his own benefits, it seems most appropriate to either have the parties equally divide the premium, or adopt the default position for proportional payments toward that premium. Some courts have refused to permit the member to effectively transfer non-reviewable custody to a third party while staying the non-military parent’s access to the courts for child custody.6 In other contexts, courts have been much less sympathetic to arguments based on the parental preference doctrine.7 One former fee dispute arbitrator reported that he got so fed up with a system that did not work he eventually decided to quit. Another wrote in, claiming that he found the note "disturbing" because he was always punctual and efficient when handling such disputes and apparently thought he was being maligned in too broad of a brushstroke. The question is what to do in a joint-but-not-equal-custody situation, where the minority time-share parent makes far less than the majority time-share parent. Under our proposal, if the minority time-share parent was granted a custodial schedule of 43% of the time, the trial court would find a prima facie case for downward deviation and proceed to the benefit/detriment balancing test. The Supreme Court reversed. In reversing, the Court noted that unless otherwise provided by law, decree, or agreement, all property acquired after marriage is considered to be community property under NRS 123.220 and that presumption can only be overcome by clear and convincing evidence citing to Todkill v. Todkill, 88 Nev. 231, 495 P.2d 629 (1972) and Kelly v. Kelly, 86 Nev. 301, 468 P.2d 359 (1970). The Court further noted that the opinion of either spouse as to whether property is separate or community is of no weight citing to In Re Wilson’s Estate, 56 Nev. 353, 53 P.2d 339 (1936) and Barrett v. Franke, 46 Nev. 170, 208 P. 435 (1922). The district court should calculate the time during which a party has physical custody of a child over one calendar year. Each parent must have physical custody of the child at least 40 percent of the time, which is 146 days per year. Calculating the timeshare over a one-year period allows the court to consider weekly arrangements as well as any deviations from those arrangements such as emergencies, holidays, and summer vacation. In calculating the time during which a party has physical custody of the child, the district court should look at the number of days during which a party provided supervision of the child, the child resided with the party, and during which the party made the day-to-day decisions regarding the child. The district court should not focus on, for example, the exact number of hours the child was in the care of the parent, whether the child was sleeping, or whether the child was in the care of a thirdparty caregiver or spent time with a friend or relative during the period of time in question. Dissenting, Justice Gibbons noted the fee agreement was entered into at the insistence of the client, who was offered and rejected an hourly billing option. Since this litigation was post divorce, he asserted, a contingency fee option should be available, and he urged the court to modify the rule to permit such agreements. P> The court mused that "goodwill" generally gives a businesses "value beyond fixtures and accounts receivable," as when what is being sold is "any . . . reputational thing a buyer could reasonably be expected to pay for." But the court found that analysis alone inadequate, because sometimes "part of goodwill . . . is personal and nontransferable, much like the professional degree. . . ." In the unusual circumstances supporting an assertion of initial emergency jurisdiction (the child is present here and has been abandoned or an emergency amounting to actual or threatened mistreatment or abuse is presented), it is now clear that such an order only lasts until a State with initial or continuing jurisdiction under NRS 125A.305, 125A.315, and NRS 125A.325, issues an order relating to the matter.
