Jefferson v Goodwin

The Supreme Court reversed. The Court noted that accepting the husband’s contention that the properties were purchased with community funds or a community obligation was "insufficient to rebut the presumption created by the form of the deed[s]," citing to Peters v. Peters, 92 Nev. 687, 691, 557 P.2d 713, 715 (1976). A mistake frequently made in the course of negotiation or litigation is the effort to compel (or trade assets in order to receive) beneficiary status for a former spouse in a member’s Veteran’s Group Life Insurance (VGLI, previously known as National Service Life Insurance, or NSLI), or its active-duty counterpart, Serviceman’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI). BACKGROUND: One of the most important parts of any military retirement benefits ("MRB") case is the Survivor’s Benefit Plan ("SBP") benefit - the only way of providing a continuing stream of payments to the former spouse if the military member should die first. The usual questions are whether the spouse should receive the survivor’s benefit and, if so, how much the benefit should be, and who should pay for it, any variation of which can be negotiated, or ordered. The cases to date in Nevada indicate that disproportionate division is essentially a remedy for wrongful behavior on the part of the other spouse - waste, fraud, secreting or destroying community property, etc. Ultimately, the facts, and what can be proven, drive the availability of the remedy. P> The parties married August 1981. The husband filed for divorce in August 1989. The decree was entered March 1992. The district court awarded the wife rehabilitative alimony at $250 per month for two years. The reason given for the award was that the husband "has the ability, through his present skill and licensing [as a contractor], to generate income sufficient to pay [the wife]" reasonable alimony. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court noted that accepting the husband’s contention that the properties were purchased with community funds or a community obligation was "insufficient to rebut the presumption created by the form of the deed[s]," citing to Peters v. Peters, 92 Nev. 687, 691, 557 P.2d 713, 715 (1976). 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 retireefs 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.6 After that "restoral," however, the reduction returns with each COLA after age 62 for life. Even where disability payments are considered "exempt," the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a member can be imprisoned on a contempt charge for failing to pay child support, despite his claim that payments could be made only from his VA disability award, which was exempt from execution.9 The holding has been extended to alimony cases as well, on the basis of the holding in Rose that: "It is clear veteran’s benefits are not solely for the benefit of the veteran, but for his family as well."10 B> living increases in said retired or retainer pay, computed from the gross sum thereof. For the purpose of interpreting this Court's intention in making the division set out in this Order, "military retirement" includes retired pay paid or to which MEMBER would be entitled for longevity of active duty and/or reserve component military service and all payments paid or payable under the provisions of Chapter 38 or Chapter 61 of Title 10 ofthe United States Code, before any statutory, regulatory, or elective deductions are applied (except for deductions because of an election to provide a survivor benefit annuity to SPOUSE). It also includes all amounts of retired pay MEMBER actually or constructively waives or forfeits in any manner and for any reason or purpose, including but not limited to any waiver made in order to quality for Veterans Administration benefits, or reduction in payor benefits because of other federal employment, and any waiver arising from MEMBER electing not to retire despite being qualified to retire. It also includes any sum taken by MEMBER in addition to or in lieu of retirement benefits, including but not limited to REDUX lump sum payments, exit bonuses, voluntary separation incentive pay, special separation benefit, or any other form of compensation attributable to separation from military service instead of or in addition to payment of the military retirement benefits normally payable to a retired member, except that the percentage of such benefits payable to SPOUSE may have to be recalculated to take into account that less than 240 months of total service have accrued. All sums payable to SPOUSE as a portion of military retirement shall be payable from MEMBER's disposable retired or retainer pay to the extent that it is so restricted by law. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (or successor military pay center) is directed to pay the funds as set out in this order directly to SPOUSE. 1) "Shared physical custody" means that each parent keeps the child or children overnight for more than 35% of the year and that both parents contribute to the expenses of the child or children in addition to the payment of child support. Proceedings must be "commenced" (by the filing of a court petition for return in the State where the child is located) within one year of the removal or retention, in order to fall within the Hague Convention provision requiring "the return of the child forthwith" if the requisite substantive findings are made.5 Neither Truax nor Mosley defines the term "joint physical custody," nor do they provide clear, cogent, and unambiguous analysis or discussion of the meaning of the terms at issue here. This thoroughly international case involved a British father and American mother who married in England and had a son born in Hawaii before moving to Chile, where they divorced. The Chilean divorce court awarded the mother primary custody (termed "daily care and control") and provided the father with "direct and regular" visitation rights, every other weekend, and for a month each February. The parties divorced after 22 years of marriage. The wife was awarded permanent alimony so long as, inter alia, she did not cohabit romantically with an adult male. The husband brought a motion contending the wife had violated this provision. The wife admitted at the hearing she had cohabited with an adult male in a romantic relationship. The district court denied husband’s motion finding that the cohabitation provision violated public policy. The Supreme Court reversed noting the legal authority supplied by husband upholding anti-cohabitation provisions from several other jurisdictions and also noting the wife had submitted no authority to the contrary. The Court concluded that a cohabitation provision in a separation was not against public policy. In sum, NRS 125.155 should be invalidated as violative of equal protection. PERS should be directed to comply with this Court’s prior directions as to how payments should be made, and to whom. And the case immediately before the Court should be reversed and remanded for entry of a decree, and a PERS QDRO, in keeping with constitutional limits. SPAN> Oren v. Dept. of Human Resources, 113 Nev. 594, 939 P.2d 1039 (1997)The judge had been previously employed as a deputy district attorney and had given advice regarding which crimes to charge the father in neglect proceedings. The judge had also represented the state in the father’s first protective custody hearing. It was held to be inequitable that the motion had to be field 20 days prior to the date set for trial when the disqualifying information was not available to the father’s counsel at the time. It was also held that the termination proceedings and the neglect proceedings were properly considered the "same action or proceeding" as the parental termination case and the judge should have been disqualified. 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. This non-mathematical approach incorporates the same "presumed contribution of direct expenditures" and "normal visitation" concept, but makes the line drawing pretty much entirely subjective with the trial courts. Perhaps that step could have the salutary effects of encouraging attorneys to report unauthorized practice, while discouraging attorneys from openly aiding and abetting such unauthorized practice by the feral paralegals in their own offices, and in the mills so brazenly advertised on the Internet. I certainly think it is worth trying some such steps, before the practice of law devolves entirely into a muck of uneducated, unregulated gibberish. In 1965, the father and mother had two children together in New Jersey. The children were left with the father and his wife. Eventually, the mother met and married a man in Nevada. Then, the mother felt able to care for her children. She and her husband went to New Jersey, recovered the children and returned with them to Nevada. The father and his wife filed a complaint in a New Jersey court seeking custody. Based upon ex parte affidavits and without any hearing or notice an "Order to Show Cause" required the mother and her husband to deliver the children to the father in New Jersey. Copies of the "Order to Show Cause" were delivered to the mother and her husband, together with copies of the complaint. Then a "Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus" was filed in Nevada alleging that the father was entitled to custody because of the "Order to Show Cause." Use the following paragraph to equally divide the marital portion of all UNISERV IThrift Saving Plan accounts. Note that, instead of a rollover to Spouse's account, the Order could direct a payment to Spouse or to a third party (such as to one or more of the attorneys). Note that the tax effects of different kinds of distributions are different. As of October 8, 2001,1 military members were authorized to begin participating in the TSP. Military members therefore now have both a defined benefit and a defined contribution type of retirement program, both of which should be addressed upon divorce.2 Many of the courts issuing decisions regarding the Variable Separation Incentive (VSI), Special Separation Benefit (SSB), and "Temporary Early Retirement Authority" (TERA) (all discussed above) specifically analogized to the lines of cases regarding disability matters. The analogies flow both ways, and those cases appear in the disability decisions, as well. In Texas, a court found that the trial court could neither divide the retired pay waived for VA benefits, nor divide the sums waived under the dual compensation law, in an attempt to comply with the United States Supreme Court’s directives in Mansell.3 The Reserve Component Survivor Benefit Plan (RC-SBP) was established to provide annuities to beneficiaries of reservists who completed the requirements for eligibility for retired pay at age sixty but died before reaching that age.1 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. thout calling it a marriage, the new law grants the same rights, protections, and privileges which a couple entering into a valid Nevada marriage enjoy. Additionally, couples who have entered into a valid domestic partnership in other states will have their partnership recognized as valid in Nevada as well. 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. If the parties divorce after retirement, the spouse is still generally secured, because the SBP will have gone into effect automatically; for it to not go into effect, a specific waiver of the SBP must be signed by the non-member spouse.3 In such cases, the SBP must merely change form from "spouse" to "former spouse." Where fully-informed counsel negotiate the matter in good faith at the time of divorce, this is a straight-forward matter to negotiate, or litigate. Usually, the SBP is left in place for the soon-to-be former spouse; if the member wishes to name some other as beneficiary, some other provision is typically made to secure her insurable interest. 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.12 The case was eventually appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which on June 26, 1981, issued its opinion in McCarty v. McCarty.3 The Court determined that state community property laws conflicted with the federal military retirement scheme, and thus were impliedly pre-empted by federal law. In a military case, an order dividing retired pay as the property of the member and the former spouse will only be honored by the military if the issuing court exercised personal jurisdiction over the member by reason of: (1) residence in the territorial jurisdiction of the court (other than by military assignment); (2) domicile in the territorial jurisdiction of the court; or (3) consent to the jurisdiction of the court.15 In Silber v. Silber,2 the Court of Appeals of New York addressed the issue of federal common law, under which a court may recognize the waiver/relinquishment of survivor beneficiary status of pension plan benefits upon divorce. The Silber court noted that its view was the far majority view, and explicitly rejected any contrary reading of Hopkins,3 instead following the line of authority of Altobelli.4 Whether a survivorship interest for the non-employee spouse is in place - and who pays for it - has a major impact on the net benefits flowing to each of the parties to a divorce involving any form of retirement benefit.
