Every state is required to recognize decrees entered by others states if those states had personal jurisdiction over one party and notice was given to the other party What happens when there is a divorce case pending elsewhereNext, 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, the "Home of Record" is merely 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 for military purposes 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. It can and often is changed, but sometimes members simply don’t get around to changing this notation for many years during active duty service. The Supreme Court found these grounds adequate "compelling reasons" for an unequal property distribution. The Court entered into a discussion of possible types of compelling reasons, financial misconduct in the form of one party’s wasting or secreting assets during the divorce process, negligent loss or destruction of community property, unauthorized gifts of community property and possibly, compensation for losses occasioned by marriage and its breakup. The Court distinguished hiding or secreting assets during divorce proceedings, on the one hand, from "undercontributing to or overconsuming of community assets during the marriage" on the other. On April 23, 2009, Robert Lueck filed a Motion for Leave to File Reply Points and Authorities in Support of Motion for Leave to File Petition for Writ of Quo Warranto and for Other Related Relief. On May 4, 2009, he filed a Supplement to the April 23rd Motion. B> This introduction deals with some of the terminology and definitions necessary to explore the world of retirement benefits. It discusses the kinds of plans and benefits that will be addressed in the seminar, and how those plans are valued and distributed. The time rule is explored in some detail. Finally, Nevada’s case law dealing with the subject is summarized, and the remaining open issues and notable points of those cases are discussed.1 Some courts have ruled that the 50% limitation is a payment limitation only, so that trial courts may award more than that amount - up to 100% of the retired pay - to the former spouse, but the pay center can only pay 50%, leaving the spouse to collect the remainder from the military member by other means (such as normal state court contempt proceedings if not paid).5 The Department of Defense has concurred in this interpretation.6 The respondent (Linda) and the appellant (Laura) were both ex-wives of the same man. During their marriage, Laura and the now ex-husband purchased a house. When they divorced, the decree awarded Laura the house on the condition that she pay to the ex-husband $7,000 or one-third of the net value of the real estate, whichever was greater. Seventeen days after the divorce, the first ex-wife, Linda, recorded a child support judgment against the house. Over five years later, Linda attempted to execute on the house. Laura argued the homestead exemption as a defense to the judgment lien. The district court ruled that the homestead exemption could be disregarded and the house sold. The district court, in doing so, relied upon the ruling in Breedlove v. Breedlove, 100 Nev. 606, 691 P.2d 426 (1984). On appeal, Laura raised a number of issues including that the district court erred by failing to find the defense of laches. It would be an error to directly compare post-Mansell cases with those concerning divorce decrees issued prior to Mansell. Courts that have reviewed decrees issued after 1989 have often held the language used in the decree to a higher standard of clarity. This is reasonable, since after Mansell it would be at least theoretically possible for a divorce court to anticipate the question, and issue an order specifically intending to permit or forbid a post-divorce recharacterization of retirement benefits into disability benefits. The Actuary also produces disability and non-disability retirement life expectancy tables, from which a good estimate of present value for a military retirement can be independently calculated. A convenient annual source for much of this information is the annual, privately published "Retired Military Almanac."2 NCCUSL put significant energy into trying to harmonize the provisions of the UCCJEA with those of the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, adopted in Nevada as NRS ch. 130. It is not always possible, given the very different jurisdictional foundations, but the intention is there, which is why so many of the definitional and other provisions read so similarly. Still, distinctions remain. 2. Each parent is ordered by the court to assume the child's basic support costs in proportion to the time that the parent has placement of the child. Arkansas X Second, each year the COLA for such members is less than for other retirees (Consumer Price Index adjustment minus one percent). However, at age 62, the retiree’s monthly income is recomputed to supply the sum that would have been paid if the full COLA had been applied every year from retirement to age 62, which at that moment becomes prospectively payable, as if there had been no reductions during those intervening years.3 After that "restoral," however, the reduction returns with each COLA after age 62 for life. Quoting at length from a law review article analyzing the mathematics of the situation, the court found that acceptance of the husband’s argument would have allowed him to collect the entirety of the accumulating "earnings" on the marital property accumulated by both parties. Three judges dissented.5 bsp; d. Also, deviation factors built into the statute for certain listed factors, the most commonly-used of which are the relative incomes of the parents, cost of child care, special educational needs, and the legal responsibility of the parents for the support of others. Transportation expenses can be factored in if the custodial parent relocates with the child away from Nevada and the noncustodial parent remains. 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 actual retirement, ten years later. 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, the "Home of Record" is merely 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 for military purposes 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. It can and often is changed, but sometimes members simply don’t get around to changing this notation for many years during active duty service. The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court concluded that there was nothing in the order which indicted that the district court did anything more than construe the provision. The Court held that it is well settled that a court of general jurisdiction had jurisdiction to construe its judgments and decrees at any time. The Court discussed how agreements should be construed. The Court noted that agreements in such cases should be construed fairly and reasonably, and not too strictly or technically. The Court further noted that agreements were to be construed as meaning what it could reasonably be inferred the parties intended. The Court noted that "equity regards the substance, and not the form" which it found applicable here. Useful language used in the opinion: "equity regards the substance, not the form," and "de minimis non curat lex" which means the law cares not for small things. bsp; A court has grounds to enter a divorce if it has subject matter jurisdiction. Subject matter jurisdiction; Under NRS 125.010, requires court to find that: 4) If a prima facie case is made for deviation in either direction, determine whether the benefit that would be enjoyed by the deviation-seeking party and the child is greater, lesser, or the same as the detriment that would be suffered by the other party and the child. Only where the benefit is greater than the detriment - usually measured by comparison of household income - would the deviation be granted. Under the qualitative approach to the time rule embraced by most time rule states, the member would receive half of this sum himself - $1,003.55. Each of his former spouses, having been married to him for exactly half the time the pension accrued, would receive half of that sum - $50 I. 78. In other words: I ask the legal community, how low do we allow the bar to be set just so a very few rude, unprofessional, and unethical attorneys can continue to practice? The answer should be clear that the minimum standards to which we should adhere should be the Rules of Professional Conduct. That is low as the bar should ever be set, Those who can't or won't comport themselves to these minimum standards should not be allowed to practice law. Period.
