I. Statement of FactsOption B provides coverage so that payments begin on the later of (1) the date of the retiree’s death, or (2) the date the retiree would have turned sixty. Benefits are actuarially reduced from the sum provided in Option A. The district court ordered that the daughter’s name be changed from Russo to Russo-Gardner. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court quoted Magiera v. Luera, 106 Nev. 775, 802 P.2d 6 (1990) that the "burden is on the party seeking the name change to prove by clear and compelling evidence, that the substantial welfare of the child necessitates a name change." Id. at 291. No apparent evidence was presented concerning the best interests of the child concerning the name change, therefore the lower court’s decision was reversed. The court addressed the constitutional challenges head on, and found that there was no constitutional issue in state court division of military retired pay under the USFSPA. In 1995, at the urging of the State Bar of Nevada Family Law Section, the Nevada Supreme Court made compliance with the standards of conduct embodied in the 1991 Bounds an aspirational goal of every lawyer and pro se litigant involved in family law cases in Clark County, by adoption of EDCR 5.04. 484, 658 A2d 736 (1995) (father who had custody 39% of time was entitled to credit on support where such custody had an impact on the father's expenses, in that he was responsible for child care); Mocnik v. Mocnik, 838 P.2d 500 (Okla. 1992) (reduction in support allowed due to extensive visitation in summer months). Cf. Garrod v. Garrod, 590 N.E.2d 163 (Ind. Cl. App. 1992) (no deviation in guidelines although custody approached 40%, where trial court did not find economic impact on noncustodial parent); In re Marriage of Toedter, 473 N.W.2d 233 (Iowa Cl. App. 1991) (support not reduced during periods of visitation where there was no evidence the custodial parent had reduced expenses); Bronstein v. Bronstein, 203 AD.2d 703, 610 N.Y.S.2d 638 (1994) (extra visitation exercised by father did not warrant deviation where there was no evidence of the financial impact such visitation had on the custodial parent); Martin v. Martin, 66 Ohio St. 3d 110, 609 N.E.2d 537 (1993) (the adoption of a joint parenting plan does not, in and of itself, mandate deviation from the guidelines); Anzalone v. Anzalone, 449 Pa. Super. 201,673 A2d 377 (1996) (where father had 40% custody, deviation in amount of 50% was not appropriate; father may "extra" expenses claimed father would have paid for anyway); Baumgartner v. Moore, 14 Va. App. 696, 419 S.E.2d 291 (1992) (deviation not warranted where noncustodial parent was unable to show that expenses were greater than those contemplated by legislature in guidelines). See also Annotation, Right to Credit on Accrued Support Payments for Time Child is in Father's Custody or for Other Voluntary Expenditures, 47 AL.R.3d 1031 (1973). Third and finally, some states view shared custody as a deviational factor only. The court will not apply any special formula, but will figure the presumptive amount based on sole custody, and then deviate from that amount. These states make no assumption that increased time with a child translates into increased costs for the noncustodial parent and decreased costs for custodial parent. Rather, each case must be examined on its facts. Option B provides coverage so that payments begin on the later of (1) the date of the retiree’s death, or (2) the date the retiree would have turned sixty. Benefits are actuarially reduced from the sum provided in Option A. The Nevada Supreme Court finally decided the Rivero Opinion on Rehearing (Rivero v. Rivero, 125 Nev. ___, ___ P.3d ___ (Adv. Opn. No. 34, Aug. 27, 2009), altering the applicable standards for making custodial determinations. Adopting the bright line test suggested by the State Bar’s Family Law Section working group (Ray Oster, Jennifer Abrams, Mary Anne Decaria, and Marshal S. Willick), a custodial time share of anywhere from 50/50 to 60/40 is now "joint custody." This replaces the far more cumbersome (and uncertain) analysis in the original Opinion. The parties had one child together. In the decree, the mother was awarded primary custody. The father was ordered to pay support of $200 per month. In January 1983, the father stopped paying. On May 23, 1988, approximately two weeks after the son's eighteenth birthday, the mother filed a motion to reduce 64 months of child support arrears to judgment. The father opposed asserting that the mother had impliedly agreed to modify the support agreement, had impliedly waived her right to child support, or was estopped from asserting her right to the support. The district court held a hearing and found that, despite repeated contact for several years subsequent to the payments stopping, the mother acknowledged she never made any demand nor did she pursue her legal rights during the time the payments stopped and the child emancipated. The mother also told the father the son did not want to see him that he should stay away. The father's version of the events was corroborated by a third party. The district court found that the mother had impliedly waived her right to the child support and denied her motion to reduce the arrears to judgment. The third group is made up of members who entered service on or after August 1, 1986. In 1986, Congress had arranged to provide retirement benefits to those members that were lowered in two different ways. The bottom line to these cases 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. Courts retain the power to refuse to enforce a prenuptial agreement if it is found to be unconscionable, obtained through fraud, misrepresentation, material nondisclosure or duress. The agreement in this case was enforced. It was found to be fair and reasonable in its terms and was not obtained by fraud, misrepresentation or nondisclosure on the part of the wife. bsp; x = the resulting spousal percentage of the military retirement benefits at the member’s actual retirement, payable to the former spouse. The only practical method of ameliorating this risk would appear to be through private insurance. The problem is that few service members carry significant sums of secondary private insurance. The Supreme Court noted that during the pendency of the appeal, Johnson v. Johnson, 89 Nev. 244, 510 P.2d 265 (1973) was decided and Lake v. Bender, 18 Nev. 361, 4 P. 711 (1894), was overruled. The Court held that regardless of whether the Pereira or Van Camp approach was applied, the decision of the district court would be affirmed. The Court concluded under Pereira that the record could be read to show that the increase in value of the husband’s separate stock ownership following the marriage came mainly from the natural growth of the business and the combined efforts of his brothers and staff. Because of that, the entire increase would be designated as separate property. The Court concluded under the Van Camp approach, community income would be determined by designating a reasonable value to the services performed by the husband in connection with his separate property. Once that amount was determined, the community’s living expenses were to be deducted to determine the balance of the community property citing to Beam v. Bank of America, 490 P.2d 257, 263 (Cal. 1971). In Schwartz v. Schwartz, 126 Nev. ___, ___ P.3d ___ (Adv. Opn. No. 8, Mar. 4, 2010), the Nevada Supreme Court determined that when a potential alimony obligor is old, rich, and sick, courts must explicitly determine whether lump sum alimony is appropriate. No QDRO is required for a TSP distribution; the TSP will honor any order that expressly relates to the TSP account of the participant, has a clearly determinable entitlement to be paid, and provides for payment to some person other than the TSP participant. This includes payments directly to the attorney for the former spouse. Attorneys drafting TSP orders should note that plan balances are always calculated on the last day of the month. For example, a teacher beginning work in Nevada at age 26, who divorces at age 34, would have only eight years in service. Accordingly (and assuming continued survival), the earliest certain retirement is at age 65 - 31 years in the future. If he continued employment for just another two years, however, the teacher would achieve ten years of service and thus be eligible to retire at age 60 - only 27 years in the future. And if he continued work for another 22 years, the teacher would have 30 years of contributions, and could retire immediately, at age 56 - which is only 22 years in the future from the divorce date. The question then remains, what constitutes joint physical custody to ensure the child frequent associations and a continuing relationship with both parents? Our law presumes that joint physical custody approximates a 50/50 timeshare. See Wesley, 119 N ev. at 112-13,65 P.3d at 252-53 (discussing shared custody arrangements and equal timeshare); Wright, 114 Nev. at 1368, 970 P.2d at 1071- 71 (discussing joint physical custody and equal timeshare). This court has noted that the public policy, as stated in NRS 125.490, is that joint custody is presumably in the best interest of the child if the parents agree to it and that this policy encourages equally shared parental responsibilities. Mosley, 113 Nev. at 60-61& n.4, 930 P.2d at 1116 & n.4. d. Hopefully, allowing all parties to review the order before leaving the courthouse on the day of hearing will reduce the number of things forgotten and inadvertently omitted from orders. A legal note from Marshal Willick about a United States Supreme Court decision altering the meaning of "custody rights" in international child abduction cases In Walsh v. Walsh,6 the divorce decree had stated only that the wife was awarded "half of the retirement benefits," even though the husband clearly had accrued a portion of the retirement benefits before marriage. The Court construed the decree as meaning half of the retirement benefits earned during marriage.
