The District Courts determination of joint physical custody resulting in an unequal timeshare should have a bearing on its award of child supportDicta relating to a frequently argued subject of dividing income during the pendency of a divorce. The wife argued that husband should have paid attorney’s fees to offset the monies the husband withdrew from the business for post separation expenditures. The Court noted that nothing in the record suggested an absolute entitlement on the part of the wife to any portion of the funds. Fick v. Fick, 109 Nev. 458, 851 P.2d 445 (1993) The parties met in 1981, and began living together. The parties signed a prenuptial agreement and married in 1984. The agreement provided the parties were waiving any rights to alimony. The district court declared that the alimony waiver provision of the agreement was unenforceable and granted the wife $14,400 in unpaid support, and $3,000 in rehabilitative alimony. Instead, it would seem to make more sense to inquire into the economics of the question, and in the absence of some compelling reason to do otherwise, provide the insurable interest security that is the SBP to the spouse with the larger insurable interest to be secured. This serves the interest of securing to each spouse to the original divorce their respective rights to the benefit stream divided upon divorce, unaffected by decisions the other makes, whether to marry, divorce, live, or die. Dicta relating to a frequently argued subject of dividing income during the pendency of a divorce. The wife argued that husband should have paid attorney’s fees to offset the monies the husband withdrew from the business for post separation expenditures. The Court noted that nothing in the record suggested an absolute entitlement on the part of the wife to any portion of the funds. 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. Hypothelical. The parties have one child. Father ("F") earns $10,000 per month and has the children 43% of the time. Mother ("M") earns $5,000 per month and has the children 57% of the time. Once "federal jurisdiction" is obtained - by appearance, domicile, or residence (for purposes other than military assignment) - the forum court is fully empowered to deal with the retirement benefits as property, as it would any other asset within the jurisdiction of the court. It is good practice to recite the basis for jurisdiction over the service member on the face of the decree or other order dealing with the military retirement benefits. adults who voluntarily live together "may agree to pool their earnings and to hold all property acquired during the relationship in accord with the law governing community property." On the other hand, such a distribution increases the possibility of later court fights over enforcement or interpretation of the original order for division.1 It gives each of the parties a stake in the other’s life - if the former spouse predeceases the member, the member’s retired pay goes up by whatever sum the former spouse had been receiving, and if the member dies first, the spousal share stops unless survivor’s benefits have been provided for in the order. As noted by Edmund Burke, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." It seems to me essential to have a neutral advisory presence in the legislature to prevent the kind of selfish stupidity exemplified by A.B. 292 from becoming the law of this state. We owe it to the system we serve, and to our collective clients, strong and weak, rich and poor, to prevent the statutory law from being twisted to serve the purposes of a few political insiders rather than the public generally. P> Within their briefs, both parties state their arguments under the UCCJEA. However, neither seriously analyzes the applicability of the UCCJEA to foreign countries. Nor does either party discuss the legal impact of Father¡¯s Answer to the Complaint filed by Mother in the district court. B> The Hague Convention analysis is not a determination of custody rights. Under Article 19 of the Hague Convention and 42 U.S.C. § 11601(b)(4), "a United States district court has authority to determine the merits of an abduction claim, but not the merits of the underlying custody claim."1 The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court noted that NRS 125.150 only required that an alimony award be "just and equitable." The Court held that there was no abuse of discretion for the award and noted that a district court should not be held to a mathematical certainty in all cases. The husband had a medical practice. The district court classified the medical practice as community property and awarded the practice to the husband. The court valued the practice at $32,765, of which $25,000 was business good will, the remainder being accounts receivable, equipment and cash. Third, we conclude that the district court abused its discretion by denying Ms. Rivero's motion to modify child support without making any factual findings to justify its decision. We also clarify the circumstances under which a district court may modify a child support order. Under NRS Chapter 125B and our caselaw, a court has authority to modify a child support order upon a finding of a change in circumstances since the prior order. Also, in accordance with the Family Law Section's suggestion, we withdraw the Rivero formula for calculating child support. The Court reversed an adjudication of delinquency by the district court on a charges of lewdness with a minor under the age of fourteen. The case came to hearing in 1993, and the State had no witnesses. The Deputy District Attorney represented that she thought defense counsel would request a continuance of the matter and on that basis she had not issued subpoenas for her witnesses, including the child victim and her mother. The court found that the district attorney’s office knew at least two weeks prior to the hearing that the defense would not be requesting a continuance. A spousal share may be rolled over to an IRA or other eligible plan, in which case no taxes are withheld. Otherwise, the spouse is taxed on the distribution, and 20% is withheld. If a non-alimony resolution is desired, or necessary, it is difficult in most cases to come up with sufficient security for such a lifetime stream of payments. This is a problem in jurisdictions which have formal or informal barriers to establishment of alimony awards. And, of course, all the risks associated with bankruptcy are a factor when the spouse exchanges a pension share for anything else, though these risks may be somewhat mitigated by enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005,2 which provided that all "domestic support obligations" have priority before all but administrative expenses.3 B> The removal or retention of a child from his or her habitual residence is "wrongful" if it is in violation of rights of custody of the left-behind parent that were actually being exercised, or would have been but for the removal or retention. The USFSPA set up a federal mechanism for recognizing state-court divisions of military retired pay, including definitions that were prospectively applicable, and rules for interpretation to be followed by the military pay centers in interpreting the law; later, regulations were adopted, and the pay centers were consolidated." The Supreme Court reversed. The Court determined that "except for consideration of the economic consequences of spousal abuse or marital misconduct, evidence of spousal abuse or marital misconduct does not provide a compelling reason under NRS 125B.150(1)(b) for making an unequal disposition of community property. If spousal abuse or marital misconduct of one party has had an adverse economic impact on the other party, it may be considered by the district court in determining whether an unequal division of community property is warranted." Id. at 1190. The case was remanded to determine whether there had been such an economic impact. 11) In this subsection, the term "dependentchild", with respect to a member or former member of the armed forces referred to in paragraph (2)(A), means an unmarried legitimate child, including an adopted child or a stepchild of the mem ber or former member, who-- There is little Nevada statutory law specifically directed to retirement benefits. Instead, they fall under the general definition of community property in NRS 123.220: "all property" acquired after marriage, with certain exceptions. All such property is divided under NRS 125.150 - the key statute governing division of property upon divorce - which mandates an equal distribution of community property, in the absence written reasons for finding a "compelling reason" to make an unequal disposition.1 Nevada switched from being an "equitable distribution" to an "equal distribution" State in 1993. Prior to that year, NRS 125.150 required the court to make such disposition of: Other courts have expressly found that reimbursement is required, whether or not there was any kind of indemnification or safeguard clause in the underlying decree. a) if the amount of time to be spent with the children is between 110 and 131 overnights, multiply the number of overnights over 110 by .0027, then multiply the result by the base combined child support obligation, and then subtract the result from the obligor's payment as determined by Subsection (2) to arrive at the obligor's payment; or The decree required the father to pay child support until the child reached the age of majority or otherwise emancipated. After the decree was filed, the legislature reduced the age of majority from 21 to 18 for men. After the child had turned 18, the mother filed a motion to modify. The Court held that a child’s right to support did not vest until the time for each payment had accrued. Payments which had not accrued were subject to modification by the court or termination by subsequent legislative agreement. The Court affirmed the father’s termination of support payments when the son turned 18. It must not require payments to an alternate payee before the retirement of a member or the distribution to or withdrawal of contributions by a member. Finally reaching the crux of the matter, the court adopted the view developed elsewhere that "personal" and "enterprise" goodwill are properly distinguished upon divorce, on the basis of whether any "goodwill could reasonably be marketable as continuing with the business absent the presence of a particular person." The court adopted the holding and reasoning of May v. May, 589 S.E.2d 536 (W. Va. 2003). There is one additional oddity that bears repetition in this jurisdiction primer, which has arisen in the modern world of increasing federalization of traditional State regulation of domestic relations law. Specifically, when a Court intends to divide military retired pay as the community property of a member and a spouse, another requirement besides traditional subject matter and personal jurisdiction is in play. 1. When a vacancy occurs before the expiration of any term of office in the Supreme Court or among the district judges, the Governor shall appoint a justice or judge from among three nominees selected for such individual vacancy by the Commission on Judicial Selection. 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 the calculations were done in accordance with the position of the critics of the time rule set out above, in a strictly quantitative way, the results would be quite different. Wife one’s share of the retirement would be calculated in accordance with rank and grade at the time of her divorce from the employee; in this case, she would get a pension share based the "high three" years at the ten year point, which was $2,464.38. The formula postulated above would produce a hypothetical retirement of $616.10. Wife one would receive half of that sum - $308.05, but not until after the employee’s actual retirement, ten years later. To further complicate the process, the PKPA partially incorporated state UCCJA law in its language. It became increasingly difficult and technical to determine which law applied, and how the two statutes should be construed.2 Whenever a conflict arose between the statutes, the PKPA, as federal legislation, was supposed to take precedence as a matter of federal pre-emption.
