The Court is asked to clarify what constitutes joint physical custody

In the cases cited above, and others, the post-divorce disability award sought and awarded to the retiree was not allowed to block the spouse’s right to continued payments under the terms of the decree. Even if Mansell does have to be considered in post-divorce recharacterization cases, courts have mandated that former spouses must be compensated, by awards of other property, or alimony, or (most commonly) dollar-for-dollar compensation of all amounts that would have been paid but for the recharacterization.

The spousal rights provisions only apply only if the TSP account contains more than $3,500. If the participant is married and wants to make a partial withdrawal of funds, the spouse’s notarized written consent to the withdrawal is required. There really can be no legitimate question that the holdings of the Nevada Supreme Court have discussed precise dates as the start or end calculation triggers for interest, so interest should be calculated on the precise number of days that an arrearage remains unpaid. 65279;All of these withdrawals presume that the TSP Board had not previously been served with a valid court order awarding a portion of a TSP account to a current or former spouse or one that requires payment for enforcement of child support or alimony obligations. If such an order was served on the TSP Board, it will comply with the court order before permitting purchase of an annuity or other withdrawal. The Court found that the mother’s desire to move to Chico was a result of much thought research regarding career opportunities and lifestyle choices, rather than a mere whim to pursue a frivolous, short-term romance. The Court found a desire to move to provide a "more rural lifestyle, to pursue expanded career opportunities, and to pursue a serious relationship" was enough to meet the threshold requirement of "actual advantage" to the move. The wife did not need to prove a tangible economic or career advantage, as they were sub factors considered in balance after the threshold showing is made. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court discussed the homestead statute and that on its face, it seemed to indicate that the exemption was always enforceable against a party seeking to execute on the homestead, unless the party can demonstrate that he or she came within one of the statutory exceptions. By applying the statute in a strictly technical fashion, the Court noted it appeared that the wife’s judgment did not come within one of the listed exceptions. The Court held that to interpret the statute in a highly technical fashion would lead to an absurd result and would contravene the legislature’s intent in enacting this statute. The Court noted that Homestead laws were designed for the purpose of protecting families and making families secure in their homes from creditors they were unable to pay. Because of that when an ex-wife or child attempted to enforce court-ordered support payments, the rationale behind upholding the homestead exemption could no longer be said to apply, since the policy of protecting the family would no longer be served by such an application. The Court did not believe that a former family member attempting to enforce a support judgment could be considered to be a creditor of the kind against which the legislature sought to protect the homesteader, and that it would be unfair to permit the homestead to be used as a shield under those circumstances to insulate a father from being forced to pay the support that was owed to his own children. The Court further noted that the father owed his first family a duty of support long before the second marriage arose, and he entered into the second marriage well aware of that duty. The Court held that to permit the application of the homestead laws to protect the husband’s second family, at the expense of depriving his first family of the support to which they are entitled, was not a result intended by the Nevada Legislature in enacting the homestead laws. Id. at 609. Sometimes, this focus is revealed in contempt cases, as in the 1995 Texas Court of Appeals rejection of a retiree’s claim that federal law made him "exempt" from contempt sanction after he waived retired pay in favor of disability benefits.8 This is one of the cases that have charactered a post-divorce recharacterization of benefits as an improper "collateral attack on a final unappealed divorce decree."9 NRS 125.210(1)(a) permits a court to "Assign and decree to either spouse the possession of any real or personal property of the other spouse." The statute is framed not in terms of ownership of property, but in terms of "possession." In combination with the provisions making such separate maintenance orders and decrees modifiable at any time, and automatically terminable at death, the scope of authority granted to district courts in separate maintenance actions seems to contemplate only temporary, changeable orders as to property. SUP> The bottom line is that the face of the statute requires jurisdiction under its terms for a valid custody order to be entered. Under the facts set out above, the parties would be required to either get a child custody order in the children¡¯s Home State, or obtain an order of the courts of that State declining to exercise jurisdiction. Absent the latter, the Nevada action should not include child custody. The bottom line to all of this is that the question of when fees incurred on appeal can be considered in the trial court is more nuanced than it had appeared. However, there does not seem to be any good way to square Berosini’s "fees are prohibited unless explicitly authorized" holding with the "fees are authorized unless prohibited" message of Miller. The former case was not addressed in any way in the latter - apparently no one noticed the conflicting directives.

The district court cannot perform a Malmquist apportionment unless either separate property has increased in value through community efforts, or conversely, community property value has been enhanced by separate property contributions. As explained elsewhere in these materials, the military system does not permit the creation of a divided interest to the spouse, but only a divided payment stream. As detailed in the section immediately below, there is an automatic reversion of the spousal share of those payments to the member, should the spouse die first. The Supreme Court noted the three years provided by NRS 11.190(3)(d), accruing upon discovery of facts constituting the fraud. The Court found that while the wife had discovered the sham transactions by 1989, that awareness did not, as a matter of law, constitute discovery by wife of facts constituting the fraud by the law firm. The Court held that when a plaintiff knew or in the exercise of proper diligence should have known of the facts constituting the elements of a cause of action is a question of fact. Looking to the five year RICO statute of limitations in NRS 207.470, the Court termed the "injury" to be discovered both the injury itself and the cause of that injury, here the alleged racketeering activity, which should not have been ruled upon below as a matter of law. The reason it is such a risky proposition to submit a QDRO after the death of an employee is that, under ERISA, a former spouse may be treated as a "surviving spouse" only if a QDRO so provides.2 It is essential that counsel explores former spouse rights under a plan if the employee dies before retirement, and specify those rights in the QDRO. This is particularly important in defined benefit plans that offer no pre-retirement death benefit other than the QPSA. In such plans, if the participant is not married and dies before entering pay status, his or her entire benefit may revert to the plan and be lost. The policy considerations of the SCRA pretty much directly collide with federal and State policies requiring the expedited process of child custody and support orders. The components of active duty military pay, and how to figure child support (which are necessarily State-specific), are beyond the scope of these materials. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that, pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, SPOUSE shall have no interest whatsoever in said military retirement benefits as community property or her separate property, having waived said rights on condition and in exchange for a stipulated Order of this Court for an award of unmodifiable alimony for her support, beginning the first day of the first month following MEMBER's retirement or attainment of eligibility for retirement (or any other form of compensation attributable to separation from military service), [AL T beginning the first day of the first month following entry of this decree, or insert agreed date] in an amount equal to __ % of the military retirement benefits to which MEMBER is or would be eligible upon retirement or eligibility therefor, [ALT2 in the sum of C. Parenting time adjustments are not mandatory, but presumptive. The presumption may be rebutted in a case where the circumstances indicate the adjustment is not in the best interest of the child or that the increased parenting time by the noncustodial parent does not result in greater expenditures which would justify a reduction in the support obligation. P> (Note that in this table, some states have two X marks. For example, in Louisiana, there is a set formula for equal custody, but extensive time is a deviation factor.) The parties divorced in 1969. At the time of divorce, the parties entered into a settlement agreement which required the father to pay support during the children’s minority. At the time, 21 was the age of majority for males. The decree approved the agreement, and merged and incorporated it into the decree. In 1973, the age of majority was reduced 18. The district court determined that the mother was not entitled to support once the son reached 18. SUP> Some critics complain that such a formula gives the non-employee former spouse an interest in the employee spouse’s post-divorce earnings, at least where the divorce occurs while the employee is still working. They argue that the spousal share should be frozen at the earnings level at divorce. This approach, however, undervalues the spousal interest by giving no compensation for deferred receipt, and also contains a logic problem, at least in a community property analysis, of treating equally situated persons differently. Our statute is based upon the Wisconsin formula, the underlying concept of which is that children should benefit from a noncustodian's income to the same extent that a percentage of that income would be spent on them if the household were intact. That underlying purpose is not one of "need," but of income sharing, so that the child's lifestyle reflects that of both parents. Essentially, a Wisconsin-type formula tends to produce orders that provide children with a standard of living that ALTERNATE PAYEE. Alternate Payee is defined as a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of a Participant who is recognized by this Order as having a right to receive a portion of the benefits payable under the Act with respect to such Participant. Courts sometimes differ as to what constitutes "consent"; for most it is any general appearance, but some have required consent to litigation of that particular asset The husband claimed and the wife admitted that she had personal property that belonged to the husband prior to marriage. The district court ordered that "each party shall have their [sic] own personal property, which is in their [sic] possession, as their [sic] sole and separate property." The Supreme Court reversed. The Court noted while NRS 125.150(4) provided that the separate property of a spouse may be awarded to the other spouse for support, there is no indication that the district court intended to make such an award in this instance. The Court held that it was error for the district court to fail to order that the personal separate property of each party be returned, absent some finding that the property must be awarded as support. These legislative changes are possible examples as to how the law is evolving to ensure animals are not treated as just another piece of property. If you kick your television, it may be broken, but there is no threat that anyone will take it away from you. If you kick "Fluffy," however, he will be taken away, never to return. Additionally, if you’re a domestic violence victim who decides to remain with your abuser, you will never see "Fluffy" again either. The current version of UIFSA § 611, enacted in Nevada as NRS 130.611, in combination with the "snapshot" rule described above, provide that even when both parties have left the original issuing state, and that State thus loses continuing, exclusive jurisdiction, when one party moves back to that State before any other state has taken continuing, exclusive jurisdiction, then the original issuing State’s continuing, exclusive jurisdiction "springs back" into being.7 Under NRS 1.230(4), "[a] judge or court shall not punish for contempt any person who proceeds under the provisions of this chapter for a change of judge in a case." Contempt preserves the authority of the court, punishes, enforces parties' rights, and coerces. Warner v. District Court, III Nev. 1379, 1382-83,906 P.2d 707,709 (1995). On the other hand, the district court's discretion to award attorney fees as a sanction under NRS 18.010(2)(b), for bringing a frivolous motion, promotes the efficient administration of justice without undue delay and compensates a party for having to defend a frivolous motion. Third fallback provision; if military retirement merged with another retirement program, that other retirement program should honor this order to the extent possible. In 1999, Congress again changed the rules,4 modifying what had become known as the "REDUX" plan to provide for an irrevocable choice of retirement plans to be made by that third group of members (who entered service after July 31, 1986), at their 15th year of service. Such members are given the choice of taking the same "High-3" retirement paid to those who entered service between September 8, 1980, and July 31, 1986, or to take the lowered REDUX benefits described above, plus a one-time lump-sum "Career Status Bonus" (CSB) of $30,000.00 payable at the 15-year mark.After the 1999 change, this option became known as the CSB/REDUX option.
