The confusion stemmed from a series of Nevada Supreme Court opinions which seemingly advocated "equal distribution."1 At the same time, however, the Court had issued decisions rebuffing appeals from orders dividing property unequally.2 One California court, surveying cases from around the country, held in 1999 that Mansell does not apply to post-judgment waivers of retirement pay at all, because Mansell held only that disability benefits could not be divided "upon divorce."1 Ms. Rivero and the Family Law Section assert that this court should clarify the definition of joint physical custody to determine whether it requires a specific timeshare agreement. The Family Law Section suggests that we define joint physical custody by requiring that each parent have physical custody of the child at least 40 percent of the time. In accordance with this suggestion, and for the reasons set forth below, we clarify Nevada's definition of joint physical custody pursuant to Nevada statutes and caselaw and create parameters to clarify which timeshare arrangements qualify as joint physical custody. Dicta relating to a frequently argued subject of dividing income during the pendency of a divorce. The wife argued that husband should have paid attorney’s fees to offset the monies the husband withdrew from the business for post separation expenditures. The Court noted that nothing in the record suggested an absolute entitlement on the part of the wife to any portion of the funds. The mother had primary physical custody, with a visitation schedule for the father of every other weekend from Friday afternoon to Tuesday morning. The father refused the mother’s request for permission to move to Chico, California. The district court refused consent. Where a defendant has not made an appearance in an action, a default judgment (for temporary or permanent orders) may only be obtained upon affidavit stating that the person against whom default is requested is not in the military.5 If it appears that a person against whom default is sought is a member of the armed services, default may not be entered against the member until the court appoints an attorney for the member, who is then charged with the duty to "not waive any defense" until the member is located.6 The 1865 Nevada Constitution contained a Section 31 to Article Four, addressing the separate property of wives owned by her upon marriage or thereafter acquired by gift, devise, or descent, and providing for the passage of further laws "defining the rights of the wife in relation, as well to her separate property as to that held in common with her husband" and "providing for the registration of the wife¡¯s separate property." Nevada¡¯s formal community property scheme came into existence through the Statutes of 1873. Several courts have held that the spouse may collect the spousal portion of the retirement at eligibility for retirement, whether or not the member actually retires.2 The court scrutinized the case law and held that "there is no real distinction between ordinary residence and habitual residence." The court declared the minor’s habitual residence at the time of the removal to be the place where he had been living with both of his parents and attending school for the previous six months, finding that six months is "a significant period of time for a four-year old child." The court specifically adopted a child-centered view of habitual residence. Specifically, the court said that habitual residence is determined by looking back in time, and determining the place, at the moment of removal, where the child had been physically present for a sufficient amount of time to show a settled purpose to be, focusing on the child’s circumstances. Where the child was in school, a home had been purchased, and the parents were working, the court considered that the test was easily met. The former spouse must not yet be age 65. Upon eligibility for Medicare (Part A), CHAMPUS eligibility ends. Some continuing benefits for former spouses may be available under the "TRICARE-for-life" program effective October 1, 2001.4 The majority found jurisdictional and dispositional grounds for termination existed and that the order terminating parental rights was based on clear and convincing evidence. The problems with retirement benefits orders that are badly drafted, or not drafted at all, got an increasing amount of attention, and was made the subject of the Advanced Track seminar at the annual meeting of the Nevada State Bar Family Law Section at Ely in March. It must not require payments to an alternate payee before the retirement of a member or the distribution to or withdrawal of contributions by a member. There are lump-sum distribution options from the plan (if $3,500 or less, the full fund balance is automaticallydistributed at the time of separation from service). More importantly, hardship loans up to $50,000 are available against the plan balance, and a specific category of hardship for loan purposes is "unpaid legal costs associated with a separation or divorce." Presumably, a developing disability would likewise qualify as a "hardship." West Virginia X Citing Walsh3 and Carrell,4 this Court held that pension payments cannot be classified as temporary spousal support, because such support is subject to possible future modification. The Court found the lower court’s lowering of payments to reflect "the taxable consequences" of the payments was "arbitrary" and held that it violated the equal distribution presumption of NRS Fraud on the court simply trumps normal considerations of res judicata and settled expectation. The problem, of course, is defining what conduct qualifies. Our Court adopted the definition used by the Sixth Circuit, holding that it: It seems that at the March 8, 2005, hearing (which gave rise to the March 29, 2005, Order in which the district court concluded that it had jurisdiction), Mother¡¯s counsel admitted that Father had not yet even been served with the Motion, and thus had no notice of the hearing or ability to respond. The district court nevertheless took Mother¡¯s representations that there was "no consent" for the children to remain in Japan with Father as a fact, and based its finding of jurisdiction upon that representation. Consider asking the question "Where is home?" in deposition, and find out if the member has made any kind of pronouncement of his present or future plans. Implicit in this Court¡¯s inquiry is whether the phrasing of the "QDRO-like" provisions adopted by the Nevada Legislature in 1993 for PERS somehow prohibits an order, as in Wolff, requiring the member to pay the spouse¡¯s share to the spouse for the period from eligibility to actual retirement. Based on comparable provisions from the other major retirement systems, the answer should be "no." 5. Offset resulting amounts under subd. 4. against each other. The parent with a greater child support obligation is the shared-placement payer. The shared-placement payer shall pay the lesser of the amount determined under this subd. or the amount determined using the appropriate percentage standard under s. DCF 150.03 (1). If the shared-placement payer is also a low-income payer, the child support obligation may be the lesser of the amount determined under this subd. or under sub. (4). And counsel looking out for their own enlightened self-interest should pay attention to this point. Now-retired attorney Edwin Schilling of Colorado estimated that 90% of his malpractice consultations involved failure to address survivor beneficiary issues. Lawyer’s Weekly USA, Oct. 18, 1999, at 22 (99 LWUSA 956). My experience has been similar - I have been hired as an expert witness in several such cases in the past several years, in which liability was sought against practitioners who were alleged to have not properly seen to securing retirement or survivorship benefits for a spouse. While the facts of the specific case would dictate the result, deviation would probably be denied, because the detriment suffered in the household where the child spent 57% of his time, with only $5,000 income for that household, would presumably be greater than the benefit that the party making $10,000 per month could get from having support lowered from $785 to $664. The $121 difference would probably be found to mean more to the household with lesser income. The confusion stemmed from a series of Nevada Supreme Court opinions which seemingly advocated "equal distribution."1 At the same time, however, the Court had issued decisions rebuffing appeals from orders dividing property unequally.2 2.5 If the client fails to honor the fee agreement, an attorney may properly take all steps necessary to effect collection, including mediation, arbitration or suit. The affirmance on appeal centered on the Nevada Supreme Court’s approval of the primary holding - that Davidson had committed "fraud upon the court," which is not subject to NRCP 60(b)(3)’s six-month limitations period, and can be addressed by a court at any time, even sua sponte. See Murphy v. Murphy, 103 Nev. 185, 186, 734 P.2d 738, 739 (1987). b) When the most recent support order deviated based on an agreement to use a number of overnights that differed from actual practice, absent some other change warranting modification, credible evidence of changed practices only includes an order Changing the custody or parenting time schedule. a) Detelmine whether the minority time-share parent is exercising less time than 20% or more time than 40% with the child.
