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. 65279;Where the spouse did not consent to non-coverage, and no "special circumstances" are present, the spouse can petition for "instatement" of the benefits later, even after the member's death. The spouse can be named SBP beneficiary even where he or she has little or no time-rule percentage of the retired pay itself. The following paragraph elects the Spouse as the irrevocable beneficiary of the Survivor's Benefit Plan benefits at a base amount sufficient to cover the spousal interest, but no more. Specific factual findings are crucial to enforce or modify a custody order and for appellate review. Accordingly, on remand, the district court must evaluate the true nature of the custodial arrangement, pursuant to the definition of joint physical custody described above, by evaluating the arrangement the parties are exercising in practice, regardless of any contrary language in the divorce decree. The district court shall then apply the appropriate test for determining whether to modify the custody arrangement and make express findings supporting its determination. If a future in-kind distribution of the retirement benefits is made, the same level of attention to detail should be given as if the distribution was immediate. Failure to do so enhances the chances of further litigation upon the member’s eligibility. The simple failure of attorneys to think about deferred retirement issues at the time of divorce is the principal cause of post-divorce pension litigation. In a few places, however, cases indicate that a service member may "un-consent" to court jurisdiction over the retirement issue alone. Except in those locations, there generally is not a jurisdictional issue in dealing with the retirement benefits in the divorce action so long as the member is the plaintiff - or a defendant who does not raise the issue. The parties divorced in 1998, in Kentucky. The parties agreed the mother would have primary physical custody. The mother and child then moved to Nevada, the father to North Carolina. In October 2000, the father asked that custody be changed, claiming the mother was in a physically abusive relationship, which was a threat to the child’s safety. The father also contended the mother was not adequately caring for the child’s seizures. The father further claimed that the mother was only spending weekends with the child because she was working in Las Vegas and the child was in Pahrump, that the child suffered from seizures, and that the mother was not properly caring for the child’s condition, that because the mother worked in Las Vegas, she only spent weekends with the child; and that he was having difficulty contacting the child by telephone. The mother asserted she had broken up with her boyfriend, that the father was physically abusive, the father was away from home for months at a time, that the child did not suffer from seizures, that the father rarely telephoned the child, and the father had only exercised visitation with the child twice and was seven months behind in child support. The district court granted the father’s motion to change custody and ordered the mother to pay $100 per month in support. The district court found changed circumstances justifying changing custody because the mother had interfered with visitation, that the father had remarried, and that both parents had moved from Kentucky. The district court also found that the father’s home was more settled, that the mother’s home environment was unsettled and awkward, and that the father would provide a better home environment since he was a career soldier and because his new wife would be a good stepmother. The "bottom line" to all of the cases addressing early retirement, late retirement, disability, partition, bankruptcy, and death benefits, is that it is incumbent upon the attorneys, especially the attorney for the spouse, to anticipate post-divorce status changes and build that anticipation into the decree. Any failure to do so is an invitation to further litigation in some forum, between the parties, or directed at the attorney. 65279;The cases continue to appear, although some states with published authority on the subject are not publishing the follow-up cases, apparently because they were not seen as particularly precedential. As income increases, any pretense of adjustment according to the parent's "means" disappears. A $50,000 per year wage-earner should pay 18% of that income - $750 per month - in child support, but the "presumptive maximum" lowers that to $580 next year less than 140/0. At $75,000 per year, an obligor pays a presumptive maximum of $638 per month - about 10% of gross income. At $100,000? Eight percent. And so on through the brackets, to where a non-custodial parent making $250,000 per year pays about four percent of monthly income - $930 on a child. Most folks in that income bracket have far larger monthly car payments (unless they pay cash for such toys, as they can). B> The cases addressing the question of the harms suffered by children from international abduction speak of those harms stemming from either "the ´removal [of a child] from its habitual environment,’ or by ´a refusal to restore a child to its own environment after a stay abroad.’"1 The court may consider the amount of time that the parent spends with the child. If the child spends 35% or more of the child's time with the parent not having primary residency, the court shall determine whether an adjustment in child support is appropriate. In calculating the parenting time adjustment, the child's time at school or in day care shall not be considered. To assist the court, the following table may be used to calculate the amount os parenting time adjustment. The adjustment percentage should be averaged if there is more than one child and if the percentages are not the same for each child. The Basic Child Support Obligation (line 0.9) is then multipied by the appropriate Parenting Time Adjustment Percentage using the following table. The Parenting Time Adjustment Percentage and the amount is entered on Line E.2. P> Having been informed during the 2004 "public workshop" that the proposed Welfare calculation methodology was counterproductive and not in keeping with the obvious legislative intent of the statute, Welfare did what a bureaucracy does in such circumstances - tried to get the law changed to support what it wanted to do. Specifically, in 2005 Welfare cooked up AB 473, which would have altered the statutory penalty as follows: It would appear that there is a conflict between the holdings of Gemma and Fondi on the one hand ("the employee spouse cannot by election defeat the nonemployee spouse¡¯s interest in the community property by relying on a condition solely within the employee spouse¡¯s control") and the 1988 holding in O'Hara on the other (the "community property interests of a nonemployee spouse do not limit the employee¡¯s freedom to agree to terms of retirement benefits"). SUP> In the U.S., common law marriage remained the norm in most of the country throughout its early history, presumably due to the size of the frontier and vast distances to government centers. The Spanish system of property ownership was, essentially, in place through much of the country prior in time to organized government. 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. Specifically, the majority time rule approach comes closest to providing equity to successive spouses. Two consecutive spouses, during the first and last halves of a member's career, would be treated equally under the qualitative approach, but very differently under any approach that freezes the spousal share at the level of compensation being received by the member at the time of divorce. 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. And, of course, divorce jurisdiction does not answer all questions, since family law cases and issues can arise in a variety of pre-divorce, post-divorce, or entirely non-marital, actions. In all such matters, and with increased precision and certitude in the recent age of uniform laws, the governing statutes control when a court may, or may not, act. The district court failed to divide the husband’s pension. The Court noted that retirement benefits were generally divisible as community property to the extent that they were based on services performed during the marriage, whether or not the benefits were presently payable and required after remand that the wife be permitted to introduce evidence regarding the husband’s retirement plan and its relation to services performed during the marriage. The Court was unimpressed with the mother’s "partial performance" argument (that she had not sought an increase when the father was making extreme amounts of money, so he should not be able to seek a decrease when his income dropped), finding estoppel "unavailable" since modifiability was a matter of public policy. Finally, the Court provided a new definition of the expression "the child’s best interest" in the context of child support, finding it to mean "to provide fair support, as defined in NRS 125B.070 and 125B.080, in keeping with both parents’ relative financial means." After a 37-year marriage, the parties entered into a property settlement agreement which required the parties, inter alia, to equalize their Social Security payments upon retirement. The husband refused to apply for benefits upon reaching age 65 and wife asked the district court to enforce the agreement of the parties. The district court agreed with the wife and granted her requested relief and attorney’s fees. 7. Although there is some discussion in the record about other actions being brought by the parties in different jurisdictions, it does not appear that either party actually undertook any actions outside of the district court matter. Specifically, there is nothing in the record that Mother filed an action with the Attorney Generalfs Office, nor does the record reflect that Mother filed an action with any Court under the International Parental Kidnaping Crime Act ("IPKCA"). 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. An entire calculation methodology based on the phrase "or portion thereof" would eviscerate the obvious and plain meaning of the statute. "Per annum" means "per annum" - the penalty is to be applied at the rate of 10% per year. And "remains unpaid" also means what it says - the penalty is to be based on all child support that remains outstanding. The Court will further enhance the practice of family law by clarifying its definition of "joint physical custody" and by: 1) defining the other custodial terms; 2) setting a minimum standard before "joint physical custody" can be considered; 3) requiring trial courts to take a child-centered view when exercising its discretion; and 4) clarifying that adoption of a given State’s definition of a custodial term does not mean that its accompanying case law is controlling. The FLS believes that the Rivero definition of joint physical custody is appropriate, but will be made more so by adoption of the clarifications outlined here. The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court distinguished between onerous title and lucrative title. The Court found that the wife failed to prove the owner’s wife’s motivation for making the bequest. The Court noted that in order to apply the apportionment doctrine, the wife had to overcome the statutory presumption that "rents, issues, and profits" of separate property retain the same character citing to NRS 123.130(2). It was the wife’s burden to prove that the husband’s labor, skill, and industry actually contributed to the increase in the value of his separate property citing to Barrett v. Franke, 46 Nev. 170, 208 P. 435 (1922) and Kelly v. Kelly, 86 Nev. 301, 468 P.2d 359 (1970). The wife was unable to overcome the presumption as testimony indicated that the husband relinquished day to day management and that the increases were primarily due to the growth of the county. B> IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that this decree does not provide any capacity for the Member to designate a subsequent spouse as beneficiary of a portion of the survivorship interest in the Plan up to all survivorship interests less those awarded to the Alternate Payee. The court intends to permit the Member to make such an allocation of remaining survivorship, but is unable to exercise that intent due to the limitations of the current law. The court expressly reserves jurisdiction to enter such future orders as may be necessary to carry this intention into effect, by modification of this Decree as required to do so, should the law allow. The parties were divorced in February 1977. A property settlement agreement was incorporated into the decree which distributed several parcels of real property and some personal property. As required, the husband executed several quit claim deeds to the wife. Several months after the entry of the decree, the parties reconciled, resumed cohabitation and held themselves out as husband and wife. They never remarried, but lived together until May 1979. In June 1979, the husband moved to modify the decree as it related to the division of the community property of the parties. The husband claimed there was an oral agreement that the wife would upon any subsequent separation, reconvey to him one-half of her real property. The request to modify was denied. 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.
