Pensions fraudIt is the intent of this Order to qualify as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order under the Act and policies and the provisions herein shall be administered and interpreted in conformity with the provisions of the Act and policies. 1) Determine whether the minority time-share parent is exercising less time than 20% or more time than 40% with the child. If so, proceed to the next step. If not (i.e., the minority time-share parent is exercising between 20% and 40%), presume NRS 125B.080(9)(j) inapplicable as a modification factor. Ultimately, the matter was remanded to state court. Ironically, that court ruled that the previously-ordered flow of payments from the member to the spouse, put into place prior to the appellate Mansell decision, was res judicata and could not be terminated. In other words, the United States Supreme Court opinion had no effect on the order to divide the entirety of retirement and disability payments in the final, un-appealed divorce decree in the Mansell case itself. While this point is important in cases involving joint physical custody, it is equally important in other cases as well. If the Supreme Court adopts the definitions of other forms of custody, as asked for by the FLS in its original Brief and reasserted below, this issue becomes all the more important, as some of the requested terminology is based upon law from other jurisdictions. As of 1983, it was possible for reservists to designate former spouses as their SBP recipients,3 and the 1986 amendments presumably gave courts the same power to deem beneficiary designations in Reservist cases as in any others. SBP benefits based on reserve-component service had a reduction similar to that for regular retirement SBP benefits after a beneficiary turns age sixty-two, which presumably is being phased out on the same schedule. Many courts hearing such cases when Mansell was decided did exactly what the California trial court did on remand in that case, issuing opinions that detailed why they would not allow the inequity of allowing post-divorce status changes by members to partially or completely divest their former spouses, where the original divorce decree had been issued prior to the Mansell decision.4 The Murphy v. Murphy, 84 Nev. 710, 711, 447 P.2d 664 (1968) should have been applied and it was not. The Court held that due process requires that notice be given before a party’s substantial rights are affected. The notice that the father received gave no indication that child custody was going to be at issue. Notice in the moving papers that the non custodian is seeking seeks to alter visitation is not sufficient. The Court reiterated that litigants in a custody battle have the right to a full and fair hearing concerning the ultimate disposition of a child, which at minimum includes support of the elements underlying the change prior to such a change, with an opportunity to the custodian to disprove those elements. Id. at 1412-13. Here, the 30-minute hearing in which the father was not allowed to present any witnesses, and in which the mother presented no evidence to rebut, was not sufficient. That presumed direct contribution by a non-custodian is part of the total support expected by the child support formula to be expended on a child. Thus, if the non-custodial parent’s direct contribution to child expenses exceeds or falls short of that presumed in NRS 125B.070 as a result of the amount of time the non-custodial parent spends with the child, the court has discretion to deviate downwards or upwards from the child support calculated under that statute, as provided in NRS 125B.080(9)(j). This process of calculating support pursuant to a formula with inherent presumptions, while allowing for deviations based on the particular circumstances of each case, furthers the original goals of fostering adequacy, consistency and predictability. 65279;In other words, the client should be advised to not remarry prior to the relevant age, unless willing to forego continuing payment of the SBP benefits. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court noted that its recent decision in Gemma v. Gemma, 105 Nev. 458, 778 P.2d 429 (1989), controlled the issue. The Court noted that in Gemma, it held that the "time rule" should be used by the district court in determining the community interest in a retirement plan. The Court also noted that it required that the community share of benefits had to be measured using the "wait and see" approach. The Court additionally noted that it held in Gemma that the community gains an interest in the pension ultimately received by the employee spouse, not simply that the pension that would be recovered were the spouse to retire at the time of divorce. The district court improperly applied the principles set out in Gemma. The district assumed that reelection would require extraordinary effort and therefore improperly placed the burden on the wife to show that those efforts were not extraordinary. the court, equally with the Garners, the Hospital, and the Hospital’s lawyer, was defrauded by Davidson, and its conclusion that this fraud was intolerable and justified vacating the stipulated judgment the court had signed, were well within its discretionary authority to decide. 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. It is the intent of this Order to qualify as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order under the Act and policies and the provisions herein shall be administered and interpreted in conformity with the provisions of the Act and policies. The cases continue to appear, although some States with published authority on the subject are not publishing the follow-up cases, apparently because they are not seen as particularly precedential. 65279;Previously the rule was that if the survivor remarried, DIC payments were permanently terminated, even if the second marriage ended by death or divorce. However, a rule effective December 16, 2003, permitted former spouses receiving DIC to retain the benefits despite their remarriage - so long as they were at least 57 years old at the time of remarriage. Those that remarried, over 57 years old but prior to December 16,2003, could have their DIC benefits restored, so long as they applied for it by December 15, 2004. UP> There are mechanisms for dealing with members who legitimately have custody of dependent children outside the United States, but fail or refuse to return the children to the U.S. pursuant to a court order.1 The various services have their own implementations of the directive, but the purpose and effect is to obtain compliance with court orders requiring the return to the United States of minor children who are the subject of court orders The decision in that case relied on the earlier decision of In re Marriage of Daniels,2 which held that to whatever degree direct enforcement of a divorce decree might be prevented by application of federal law, the member would receive any sums that had been awarded to the spouse as a resulting trustee of her funds, and must pay them over to her. The language quoted was the principle espoused earlier by the California Supreme Court in Gillmore3 - that one party should not be allowed to defeat the other’s interest in retirement benefits "by invoking a condition wholly within his or her control." Since attending that seminar, I have accompanied my seniors to many appearances and have recently been allowed to fly solo. What I have seen in the courtroom and in dealings with fellow attorneys is nothing short of appalling: B> The Hague Convention is not much concerned with the niceties of jurisdiction, but rather is deliberately expansive in scope, stating that a proceeding may be initiated in any State (meaning country) "to which the child has been removed or in which it has been retained."1 It does not appear to make a difference why a child is within the territorial jurisdiction of a court, or for how long. If a court finds that a child has been "removed to" or "retained in" that territorial jurisdiction for any amount of time, a Hague Convention action may be filed there. In 1986, Congress amended the USFSPA so that State courts could order that former spouses be members’ beneficiaries.1 If a member elects, or is "deemed" by a court to have elected, to provide the SBP to a former spouse, the member’s current spouse and children of that spouse cannot be beneficiaries.2 Generally, an election to make a former spouse an SBP beneficiary is not revocable; if the election was pursuant to court order, a superseding court order is necessary to change it.3 The California cases made it clear that a spouse has to make an "irrevocable election" whether to begin receiving the spousal share of the retirement benefits upon maturity, or to wait until the wage-earner actually retires, thus enjoying a "smaller piece of a larger pie" by getting a shrinking percentage of a retirement based upon post-divorce increases in the wage-earner’s salary and years in service. In 2001, the Arizona Court of Appeals again dealt with the contract theory, federal law supremacy assertion, and claims of "involuntariness" that appeared in several of the cases discussed above, in Danielson v. Evans.1 Because the divorce at issue occurred after Mansell, the prevailing former spouse in Danielson was held to the "higher standard of clarity" in the underlying decree (discussed above) to protect her interests. Previously, the rule was that if the survivor remarried, DIC payments were permanently terminated,6 even if the second marriage ended by death or divorce.7 However, a rule effective December 16, 2003, permitted former spouses receiving DIC to retain the benefits despite their remarriage - so long as they were at least 57 years old at the time of remarriage. Those that remarried, over 57 years old but prior to December 16, 2003, could have their DIC benefits restored, so long as they applied for it by December 15, 2004. At the time of their marriage, the parties each owned real property. During the marriage, the parties lived in the wife’s home. Mortgage payments were made on that property throughout the marriage. The primary source of these payments was apparently the proceeds from a craft business operated by the wife. The business had been purchased after the marriage with joint funds. The husband letter began constructing a residence on his separate property lot, performing most of the work himself. The funds came from money withdrawn from a community savings account and the sale of his prior separate property residence. The district court made a finding that both parties’ separate property had been improved with community assets. The court found the community interest in the lot on which the husband’s residence was built included the value of the husband’s labor, and the value of the building materials used. No community property interest was found in the wife’s residence. The district court also found that the craft business had been transmuted from community property to separate property by the division of the bank accounts. UP> PERS is mainly a "non-contributory" system. Certain workers have paid in to "member’s contribution" accounts from the days when PERS had employee as well as employer-paid funding. That amount is refundable in certain circumstances, and may be applied to the (divisible) retirement in others. 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 statute is more limiting regarding division of retired pay as property, however. The former spouse can apply for direct payment from the military to the former spouse," but the USFSPA limits direct payment to a former spouse to 50% of disposable retired pay for all ?payments of property division." More than fifty percent of disposable pay may be paid" if there is a garnishment for arrears in child or spousal support, or in payments of money as property other than for a division of retired pay. In other words (and counter-intuitively), about the only part of arrear ages arising from a divorce judgment that cannot be satisfied by garnishment from retired pay is arrearages in retired pay. That summary mechanism has been in common use for the past 50 years, and provided a way for lawyers to obtain at least a judgment for fees owed by clients. Because a potential means for (eventual) collection of fees owed existed, many lawyers continued working for clients even after the clients ran out of money on retainer. And judges should consciously consider their jurisdiction to proceed before wading into the merits of cases, with sufficient knowledge of the jurisdictional rules both to understand what they should not do, and to ignore legally fatuous arguments based on indefensible attacks on their legitimate jurisdiction. If the agreed facts resolve a jurisdictional question, one way or another, the merits can be addressed; if not, the court should focus on convening such proceedings as are necessary to make the factual determinations that permit the jurisdictional call to be made promptly, economically, and correctly. As a theoretical matter, tactical filing of an SCRA request would apparently prevent a court from making a preliminary custody order, leaving no order in place for custody of a child for months at a time. Courts put in such situations have generally erred on protecting children,5 but the statutory conflict is obvious.
