The Court is asked to clarify what constitutes joint physical custody

If the court declines to allow a stay of proceedings, it is required to appoint counsel to represent the member,9 but the SCRA is silent as to the duties of the appointed attorney, or how such a lawyer should get paid, if at all.

The parties were married in 1931, and remained married until the husband’s death in 1974. The husband’s Will claimed that the entire estate was his separate property. The widow commenced an action asserting the estate to be community property and her entitlement to one half of it. There was a postnuptial agreement between them wherein the wife released present and future community property rights. The district court dismissed the action based upon the postnuptial agreement. The court found the property provisions of the agreement enforceable. In the agreement, the widow released her present and future community property rights. The district court concluded because the widow gave up her present and future community property rights, she was barred from asserting a community interest in the decedent’s estate. The court also found her action barred by laches. 1) The United States and any other or employee of the United States shall not be liable with respect to any payment made from retired pay to any member, spouse, or form er spouse pursuant to a court order that is regular on its face if such payment is made in accordance with this section and the regulations prescribed pursuant to subsection (i). Most of those who advocate the"freeze at divorce" approach discussed above either oppose or ignore the question of whether distribution of the spousal shareshould bemandated at the time of the participant’s first eligibility for retirement. It is not possible, however, to fully and fairly evaluate the impact of a "freeze at divorce" proposal withoutexamining that question as well.2 The district court had dismissed the woman’s complaint, but the Supreme Court reversed, finding that in a notice-pleading state, an allegation of an agreement to pool income or contract to hold property is enforceable, citing Marvin v. Marvin, 557 P.2d 106 (Cal. 1976). The Court stated that "[i]n the absence of an express contract, the courts should inquire into the conduct of the parties to determine whether that conduct demonstrates an implied contract, agreement of partnership or joint venture, or some other tacit understanding between the parties. The courts may also employ the doctrine of quantum meruit, or equitable remedies such as constructive or resulting trusts, when warranted by the facts of the case." Id. at 199. The Court held that the remedies set forth in Marvin were available to unmarried cohabitants. Unmarried persons who are living together have the same rights to lawfully contract with each other regarding their property as do other unmarried individuals. The agreement may be express or implied from their conduct. The courts will protect their reasonable expectations with respect to transactions concerning property rights. Id. at 199. Each case should be assessed on its own merits with consideration given to the purpose, duration and stability of the relationship and the expectations of the parties. Id. The Court further noted that one party should not be permitted to abscond with the bulk of the assets. This is another area in which confusion seems rampant. It is not unusual for a party to have moved here and initiated litigation here, requesting among other things a fee award against an out-of-State opposing party. Nevada may not order any such economic relief against a defendant over whom the court lacks personal jurisdiction. 5. Offset resulting amounts under subd. 4. against each other. The parent with a greater child support obligation is the shared-placement payer. The shared-placement payer shall pay the lesser of the amount determined under this subd. or the amount determined using the appropriate percentage standard under s. DCF 150.03 (1). If the shared-placement payer is also a low-income payer, the child support obligation may be the lesser of the amount determined under this subd. or under sub. (4). Shortly before the wedding, the couple signed a prenuptial agreement drafted by the husband. The agreement set forth, among other things, a provision waiving the parties’ rights to alimony upon divorce. The body of the agreement acknowledged that each party attached a schedule of their various premarital assets and obligations. However, the husband did not attach his schedule until a year after they signed the agreement. The wife filed for divorce. After a trial, the district court entered a decree and issued findings of fact and conclusions of law. In its findings, the district court: (1) characterized a lot as community property and ordered it sold; (2) valued the Las Vegas house at $60,000; (3) declared the alimony waiver provisions of the prenuptial agreement unenforceable; and (4) granted the wife $14,400 in unpaid support, $3,000 in rehabilitative alimony and $3,000 in attorney’s fees. The Court held that payments once accrued under a decree, for either alimony or support of a child, become a vested right and cannot thereafter be modified or voided. The Court noted that it was well settled in that a district court was without power to effect a revision or remittance of past due alimony. The Court rejected the husband's claim of an equitable offset and further held the husband was not entitled to retroactive modification of alimony provisions of the decree to give him credit against the amount of arrear ages sought to be recovered by divorced wife because of amounts paid by him directly to the son. The reason for not only permitting, but encouraging the use of such indemnification clauses was explained well by the Minnesota Court of Appeals in Gatfield3: it basically ensures that the divorce courts are free to enforce the parties’ declared intent as a matter of contract law.4 Any court reviewing a decree seeking intent to indemnify must be careful to not give retroactive effect to either the USFSPA, or any case interpreting it (i.e., Mansell) so as to defeat an existing flow of payments to a former spouse. As stated by various courts over the years, it would "thwart the very title of the Act, the ´Uniform Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act,’ to construe the law as preventing a spouse from actually receiving a court ordered portion of military retirement benefits."5 In October 1951, the husband received $31,815.59 from his father’s estate. The check was deposited in the joint bank account of the parties, which was overdrawn at that time for $900. This deposit was October 25, 1951. On November 13, 1951, balance in the account was $17,890. On that date, a check was deposited for $14,508.71, for payment of cattle sold. The cattle were community property. In December 1951, the husband paid $16,855 for a herd of purebred cattle. The cattle were registered in his name. The market price subsequently went down. The district court found the cattle to be the separate property of the husband. The benefit and the detriment of a deviation from guideline support are not always, or perhaps even usually, the same. For example, in Barbagallo, the parties had essentially a 4/3 custody split, giving the minority time-share parent about a 43% time share. If, on those facts, the minority time-share parent was wealthy, and the majority time-share parent was barely making a mortgage payment, then the proposed deviation would have no impact on the minority time-share parent¡¯s ability to care for the child during that time share, but a severe detriment would be suffered by the majority time-share parent and the child in the majority time-share parent¡¯s household. On those facts, deviation would be denied. 6. Mother filed her Complaint on February 3, 2005, approximately eight months after the children moved to Japan. Motherfs UCCJEA Declaration indicates the children have lived in Japan since June 2004.6 Very quickly (in Congressional terms), bills were introduced and debated, and in September, 1982, Congress enacted the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act, or "USFSPA," 10 U.S.C. § 1408, to "reverse McCarty by returning the retired pay issue to the states." The USFSPA does not give the spouse of a service member any right under federal law to claim a share of the service member’s retired pay; it was an enabling statute that allowed state courts to divide military retirement income according to their own state laws after June 26, 1981, the same way that they had prior to that date.3 NRS 130.204 directs the court what to do in the specific circumstance of a "simultaneous proceeding" in two States. The statute has two parts, depending on which State’s case was filed first, and it sounds a bit confusing, because so much of it is framed in the negative, but the rules actually do make sense. The parties divorced October 1991. There were two children. The father received primary custody. Both of the parties worked at the same company. After they were laid off, the father secured employment in Oregon and a residence in Idaho. The parties met to discuss the father moving to Idaho. The father was unaware that he needed written consent to move because it was not in the decree. The mother verbally consented to the move. The parties also discussed a new visitation schedule and lowering the support payments. In November 1998, the father, the children and his girlfriend moved to Idaho. The parties were unable to finalize an agreement concerning visitation and child support. The father left the child alone one day while laying sheetrock, however, the child was trained in how to contact the father. The mother called and found out the child was home alone. The mother called the police who conducted a welfare check and who found the child was fine, not scared, was watching television and doing a project. The mother then filed a motion to modify custody asserting that the father had not complied with the move statute and that the father left the child alone. The district court granted the motion finding that both prongs of the Murphy v. Murphy, 84 Nev. 710, 447 P.2d 664 (1968) standard had been met. The practitioner must find out whether a military member is or has been a participant in the Thrift Savings Plan, and if so whether any funds have been withdrawn or borrowed from the plan. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court noted that in Walsh v. Walsh, 103 Nev.287, 738 P.2d 117 (1987), it held that retirement benefits earned during marriage were community property. The Court distinguished between community property and spousal support, specifically the fact the community property was not subject to future modification. The Court held that the district court erred when it characterized the wife’s community property as spousal support which subjected it to possible future modification. None of these effects were clearly disclosed; none of those appearing made clear that only a tiny and ever-shrinking minority of States even consider vestedness an issue as to the divisibility of retirement benefits.2 The Nevada Bar Family Law Section had heard about the proposed legislation, and its Executive Council was assured that the lawyers appearing at the hearing3 would convey just how counterproductive and injurious to community property law the proposal was. And, indeed, both attorneys appeared at the hearing, and are listed as testifying in opposition to the bill,4 although Ms. Cooney further testified that legislative action was required because the retirement benefits decisions of this Court "tend to cloud issues rather than clear them up."5 In 1999, the parties stipulated to an increase in child support from $3,000 to $4,000, to take effect in 2001, and for the father to pay for private school. In 2000, custody was changed to joint physical, but the support terms remained unchanged, and were stipulated to be "nonmodifiable" unless the mother tried to relocate out of Nevada with the children. The lesson relating to defined contribution plans is thus to consider whether the "usual way" of dividing benefits in a given jurisdiction is the right way to divide those particular benefits, and in any event, to be sure to specify with precision what is being divided as of when. Some States, such as Washington, found the USFSPA itself was sufficient authority for their courts to address cases of persons divorced during the gap.2 In those States, motions could be brought to divide the retirement benefits if they had been omitted, or to divide the benefits if they had been awarded solely to the member while McCarty was the law of the land. The scant federal authority has led to the same result as the State cases, but by way of different rationales, primarily involving deferral to State courts in domestic relations cases,1 or squarely addressing and refuting a wide assortment of federal offenses allegedly committed by spouses in State divorce courts.2 Once everyone leaves Nevada, a determination that such is the case can be made by a State that has initial custody determination, as the Comment makes clear: B> An issue frequently addressed by the courts in divorce cases involves the transfer of property owned by a spouse prior to marriage into joint tenancy during the marriage, or the purchase of property held in joint tenancy with separate property funds. A long line of Nevada cases establishes that separate property placed into joint tenancy is presumed to be a gift of a half interest to the other party, unless the presumption is overcome by clear and convincing evidence.1 Parenting Time Table. The TOTAL column represents the anticipated total out-of-pocket expenses expressed as a percentage of the Basic Child Support Obligation that will be incurred by the parent who will pay child support. The total expenses are the sum of transferred and duplicated expenses. The DUPLICATED column represents the duplicated expenses and reflects the assumption that when there is an equal sharing of parenting time, 50% of the Basic Child Support Obligation will be duplicated. The Number of Annual Overnights column will determine the particular fractions of TOTAL and DUPLICATED to be used in the Parenting Time Credit Worksheet. In many cases, the petitioners in Hague Convention cases are impecunious, or at least unable to raise the kinds of sums required to properly compensate counsel (sometimes in multiple countries) for the recovery of internationally-abducted children, along with the costs of participating in litigation, and transporting the children back to their countries. In circumstances where some or all of the case has been attended to by counsel pro bono, respondents sometimes make the claim that since payment was not made, there is no justification for a fee award to "compensate" the petitioner. In such circumstances, the following points and authorities might be useful. The parents were subject to a joint physical custody order. The referee found that the best interests of the children would be served by vesting the mother with primary custody. The referee agreed with the testimony and recommendations of the CASA; the joint custody order was working to the detriment of the children, and there was evidence that the son was being mistreated while at the father’s home. The district court adopted the referee’s findings. The father appealed, claiming the referee applied the wrong legal standard when considering a modification of joint custody. Next, determine the member's "home of record" with the military. According to the Legal Assistance Policy Division of the U.S. Army's Judge Advocate General's Corps states that the "Home of Record" is the state of residence of a member when the member entered the service of the armed forces. This may, or may not, be the same as the member's domicile - the place that, when the member eventually goes "home," he will return to. In actuality, "Home of Record" is used solely for the purpose of determining the amount of moving expenses that will be provided to a member and his family upon termination of military service, and sometimes members simply don't get around to changing this notation for many years during active duty service. 3)(A)ln the event of effective service of conflicting court orders under this section which assert to direct that different amounts be paid during a month to the same spouse or former spouse of the same member, the Secretary concerned shal1-- The Texas cases provide a good example. If the original decree contained a residuary clause stating that un-mentioned property belonged to the non-member former spouse, then she could get her share of benefits silently omitted from decree.7 At least one intermediate appellate court held that the same result followed from total silence of the decree without a residuary clause, since Texas statutory law held that undivided assets were "held" by the parties as tenants in common.8 In 1999, however, the Texas Supreme Court "disapproved" that holding, stating that partition was only permitted if there had been a residuary clause which arguably "treated" the pension in the original divorce.9
