Defining joint physical custodySPAN> In re Trujillo, 215 B.R. 200 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. Nev. 1997) aff’d as amended 166 F.3d 1218 (9th Cir. 1998) For bankruptcy purposes, interests in property are determined by state law. A) Presuming that as parents spend more time with their children they will directly contribute a greater share of the children's expenses, a base support obligation needs to offset some of the costs and savings associated with time spent with each parent. In this case, however, the Court found that the plan documents explicitly provided that the plan would pay benefits to a participant’s designated beneficiary, and included straight-forward forms and procedures for any changes in the designation of the named beneficiary. William’s designation of Liv as his beneficiary was made in the way required; Liv’s waiver was not. The Court decided that in those circumstances, plan administrators should not be forced "to examine a multitude of external documents that might purport to affect the dispensation of benefits," and be drawn into litigation over the meaning and enforceability of purported waivers. B> The Nevada Supreme Court issued a decision in 2002 entitled Vaile v. District Court, which provided for the recovery of the kidnapped children, who had been spirited out of Norway to the United States.1 Mr. Vaile stopped paying child support when he kidnapped the children in 2000, and never started paying again, even after they were recovered, despite his continued receipt (except for a three-year period when he elected to attend law school in Virginia), of a six-figure income and relatively lavish lifestyle. The mother was initially awarded custody. The father was ordered to pay $200 per month in support and paid on time. The mother later voluntarily relinquished custody to the father. The father then filed a motion to formalize the de facto change of custody. The Supreme Court implicitly approved of district court’s decision recognizing a de facto change in custody. Obviously, either approach could be better ¨C or worse ¨C for either party, depending on how much time passes, and whether the account balance increases or decreases during that time, which could be due to market forces having nothing to do with the parties. But in either case, it should be dealt with one way or the other in the decree (preferably) and in any QDRO or other ancillary order dividing the plan benefits (definitely) to avoid what could be considerable litigation as to which possible way to divide benefits was impliedly intended to be done. The parties entered into a premarital agreement, and were both represented by counsel. Under the premarital agreement, the parties agreed that the income of the other party would be that party’s separate property, except as otherwise provided in the agreement. The Supreme Court noted under NRS 123A.080, the burden of proving the invalidity of an agreement is placed upon the party challenging the agreement and held where the wife’s amended petition admitted the validity of the prenuptial agreement, the district court was under no obligation to independently determine the validity and substantive fairness The lone dissent dismissed the concept of the children "bonding" with the nonparental placement for a long time while the parent does or does not attempt to comply with the case plan as "pop psychology." SPAN> In re Trujillo, 215 B.R. 200 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. Nev. 1997) aff’d as amended 166 F.3d 1218 (9th Cir. 1998) For bankruptcy purposes, interests in property are determined by state law. P> In Johnson, the Nevada Supreme Court held that where an increase in the value of separate property occurs during marriage as a result, either in part or in whole, of the owner-spouse’s labor and skills, the increased value should be apportioned between the separate property of the owner and the community property of the spouses.15 In so allocating the increased value, the court may choose between two approaches, the first commonly referred to as the "Pereira" approach, which is based upon Pereira v. Pereira,16 and the second commonly referred to as the "Van Camp" approach, which is based upon Van Camp v. Van Camp.17 The distribution of the benefits and burdens of survivorship interests in this presumptive-equal-distribution State, as to retirement systems that are structured to provide their employees superior rights, haven proven problematic to both bench and Bar in divorce cases attempting to treat the parties equally. That problem appears in this case, because the orders below apparently include no form of survivorship or other security for the non-employee spouse’s insurable interest,1 while the employee’s interest is 100% secured by the structure of the system itself. The enforcing regulations were also repeatedly modified. Originally, they required the sum of retired pay to be defined as an exact percentage or sum of dollars without reference to a formula, even if some component (for example, the total number of years of service for a member still in service) was not known at the time of divorce. A post-divorce "clarifying order" was needed to set out a percentage that could have easily been calculated using figures completely available to the pay center. For pre-retirement divorces, use one of the following three alternative paragraphs controlling when benefits are to begin, plus one of the two paragraphs immediately below them defining the amount of benefits. Of the three alternatives, the first is for states that allow or require a Gillmore election of payments to the spouse at the member's eligibility. The second is for states that require payments to begin at actual retirement. The third simply provides a blank for those cases in which a starting date is agreed or ordered. In any event, for the short term, there remains the question of arrearages, consisting of sums of retired pay that retirees waived and personally collected in the form of disability pay to the exclusion of the former spouse. As to those cases, all of the above factors remain relevant. The legislation did not contain any authority for DFAS to issue retroactive payments. The three Tennessee courts all rejected arguments that recharacterization by the member was silently allowed by orders that did not prohibit (or mention) disability pay. They rejected all arguments regarding "implied federal pre-emption." Hillyer involved a 1986 divorce decree, while Johnson construed a decree issued in 1996; the fact that the decrees at issue were issued after passage of the USFSPA, or Mansell, was considered irrelevant. The Nevada enforcement court imposed a child support obligation on the father. A prior California Decree of Divorce contained no child support order. The father contended that per State ex rel. Welfare Divorce. v Hudson, 97 Nev. 386, 632 P.2d 1148 (1981), the Nevada enforcement court lacked authority to establish a child support order. The Court rejected the father’s argument noting the law in Nevada had changed since Hudson. Per NRS 130.220(1) the enforcing court must impose an obligation of child support on an obligor "on the basis of a prior decree or other obligation of law." Id. at 303. It was noted NRS 125B.020 imposed an obligation of support on every parent from the moment a child is born. The court also rejected the father’s argument that he was entitled to notice from the moment San Diego County began supporting his child. The Court found due process did not demand pre-liability notice. Our clients just want "Fluffy" back. Sadly, their spouse always seems to want the dog too (sometimes only because they know how badly the other side wants the pet). Currently, the Court has many options to consider when handling this issue. They take into consideration such factors as who purchased the animal, whose name is registered as the owner, was there a contract signed for the purchase of the animal? The Court may simply decide that the animal is jointly owned and may order that the beloved pet be sold and the proceeds shared. In Nevada, however, the animal is generally ordered to one party or the other, and the party who ultimately retains possession of the animal is forced to take an offset against the marital assets. For a divorce occurring while a member is still on active duty, there are even more variables. First is the uncertainty that the member will retire at all. The precise length of service cannot be known - economic conditions, the defense budget, and world crises all could change the date of separation of a member by several years. Likewise, it is usually impossible to know the rank that such an active duty member will achieve. Each of these factors affects the "present value" assigned to the spousal share. These notes provoked a remarkable response from all over the U.S. Apparently the problem is not confined to Nevada, although our reputation as a divorce Mecca probably makes the divorce mills here among the worst in the nation. And since an adjudication would be reversible without findings under those cases, any motion for adjudication should make representations as to the required factors, and any order adjudicating a lien should include findings, as to: In Kentucky, the legislature decided in 2006 that any custodial change premised on member’s deployment or activation is only a temporary order which "reverts" to the prior order upon return of the member; the Kentucky Supreme Court apparently approves of the statute.5 Louisiana has enacted a "compensatory visitation" statute.6 California prohibits use of military activation and deployment out of state from being used against a member in a custody or visitation case.7 You can find Rivero v Rivero Subsection 1 The Marren and Page Case List In the Matter of Parental Rights as to Q L R Hitting the Jackpot in Pension Cases Secrets to Getting the Retirement Shar Las Vegas Nevada family law appeal lawyer Withdrawal and Borrowing of Money from the TSP During Service Rivero State Bar Amicus Brief Part One Subsection I The Marren and Page Case List Weeks v Weeks and Graham v Graham Feral paralegals part 2 The Marren and Page Case List Emerich v Emerich Divison of Military Retirement Benefits In Divorce Section X Subsection D The Perversion of Bureaucratic Priorities Ogawa Amicus Brief CONCLUSION The Marren and Page Case List Carlson v Carlson Death of Member After Retirement and After Divorce Medical and Other Ancillary Military Benefits to Consider Rivero v Rivero Subsection 1 available at lvfamilylawyer.com by clicking above.
