Community Property acquired

In some circumstances, such as where both parties have resided overseas for a substantial period of time, or the children were born in a foreign country, the best route to obtaining a legitimate order for custody might be through the courts of the foreign country. The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act recognizes many foreign countries as "States,"5 and such orders may generally be registered and enforced in the United States. While the Opinion goes on for 19 pages, the reversal boiled down to the simple conclusion that since a ne exeat right is to "determine a child’s country of residence," it necessarily is a right of joint custody, triggering the Convention and ICARA’s return mechanism if violated. The Court considered it "beside the point" that a ne exeat right does not fit within traditional "notions of physical custody," finding that the text-based uniform approach serves the purpose of international consistency and prevents courts from parochially looking to the terminology of local law. We replicated the table of hypothetical sums due and sums paid from the Welfare Division’s Manual,1 at the request of the District Attorney. Over the same one-year time period as the sample in the Manual, the private Bar calculates a total penalty (as of 12/31/04) of $85.90. The Welfare calculation shows $230, grossly overstating the penalties actually owed, in the short term, by immediately assessing in toto a penalty that is supposed to be applied "per annum." In some circumstances, such as where both parties have resided overseas for a substantial period of time, or the children were born in a foreign country, the best route to obtaining a legitimate order for custody might be through the courts of the foreign country. The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act recognizes many foreign countries as "States,"5 and such orders may generally be registered and enforced in the United States. In altogether too many decisions - in Nevada and elsewhere - courts appear to simply decide what is "fair," and then set about constructing rationalizations in support of the conclusion already reached. This may be an artifact of the lack of a coherent theoretical model for either the original award of alimony or its modification once awarded. The organized family law Bar must become more proactive in the legislative process. Too much, we have allowed private lobbying groups to speak for the family law bar. Experience has shown clearly that those organizations, and their representatives, have political and personal agendas considerably beyond looking out for equity, impartiality, and logic in family law. First, the Missouri definition recognizes that "joint physical custody" could exist even if parents do not have an equal time share. The FLS asks the Supreme Court to clarify that an award of joint physical custody should not be an option the trial court may consider unless some objective minimum time threshold is established. The documents that have to be filed are relatively straightforward, and the Hague Convention and ICARA eliminate many of the technicalities regarding authentication, etc., that might otherwise be asserted. The statutory framework is intended to allow as fast a resolution of the issues involved as possible, although anecdotal experience and the published cases make it clear that such a case still can take from a matter of days, to several years, to complete. The wife owned a parcel of land prior to marriage. After marriage, community funds were used to pay toward the mortgage. The district court awarded the parcel to the wife as her sole and separate property. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court held that where payments are made with community funds on real property owned by one spouse prior to the marriage, the community is entitled to a pro tanto interest in such property in the ratio that the community payments bear to the payments made with separate funds, citing , 100 Nev. 236, 679 P.2d 1260 (1984) and Barrett v. Franke, 46 Nev. 170, 208 P. 435 (1922). B)A person's eligibility to receive payments under this subsection that is terminated under subparagraph (A) by reason of remarriage shall be resumed in the event of the termination of that marriage by the death of that person's spouse or by annulment or divorce. The resumption of payments shall begin as of the first day of the mon th in which that marriage is so terminated. The monthly amount of the payments shall be the amount that would have been paid if the continuity of the payments had not been interrupted by the marriage. After distinguishing the doctrine of equitable adoption as used in Frye for child support from its use in establishing legal custody, the Court reversed and held that "for purposes of determining legal parentage in a custody dispute between biological and nonbiological parents, Hermanson holds that NRS 126.051 is the applicable statute." Id. at 289.  It worked well for many years, until the Nevada Supreme Court issued the decision in Millen v. Dist. Ct., 122 Nev. 1245, 148 P.3d 694 (2006), which opinion unfortunately lumped in the existence of personal prejudice with "personal knowledge of disputed facts," as matters "best resolved on a case-by-case basis." The parties were raised in Colorado, were married there and the first place of the matrimonial domicile was the husband had filed for divorce there in 1951 and 1952. The husband moved frequently for construction projects, and was in Nevada eight months for one. The husband enlisted as a draft registrant in Colorado, they purchased a home in Denver, they bought and licensed their cars in Colorado. Based upon the facts, the Supreme Court held that finding of Nevada residence was without support. There is not much published authority regarding the divisibility of the CSB/REDUX payment, but both the trial-level cases that have appeared, and analogous precedent, indicate that the cash should  be divisible precisely as the retirement benefits for which it partially replaces. The analogy is to the lines of authority concerning "early-outs" and disability benefits. When these notes go out, I sometimes get a lot of feedback, including inquiries as to how developing matters played out. As it’s been most of a year since they started, it seemed appropriate to update prior items. a) Detennine 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. Two children of parents who divorced in 1972 (when the children were 12 and 13) sued the estate after the father died. The decree had required the father to establish a trust of $25,000 payable when the elder child reached 25. The father never established the trust, and left them nothing when he died. They claimed the mother never told them about the provision of the decree calling for the trust to be established. The district court dismissed the suit as time-barred. The Supreme Court reversed.  There appear to be five separate possible effects of a death on a couple in which one party is or was a member of the armed forces, depending upon whether death is before or after retirement, and before or after divorce, and which of the parties has died. Nothing stated below has any effect on service life insurance, which is discussed separately below. As a result, this case presents a scenario where there is a discrepancy between the literal reading of the phrase "next general election" and the correct interpretation of the phrase in light of the rules set out by this Court for potentially conflicting constitutional provisions, statutory construction generally, and as to appointments and elections specifically. For a divorce occurring while a member is still on active duty, there are even more variables. First is the uncertainty that the member will retire at all. The precise length of service cannot be known - economic conditions, the defense budget, and world crises all could change the date of separation of a member by several years. Likewise, it is usually impossible to know the rank that such an active duty member will achieve. Each of these factors affects the "present value" assigned to the spousal share. It is possible that no one would ever notice. But if either party filed an action in the children¡¯s Home State claiming that Nevada never had jurisdiction to determine custody, the rule indicates that such a filing would succeed. 65279;The Arizona Court of Appeals was more direct in In re Gaddis when it held that divorce courts were only required to find reductions in military pay benefitting the member to bar compensation to the spouse if those reductions in retired pay existed when the award to the former spouse was made. The court saw the proscription of Mansell - that the USFSP A "does not grant state courts the power to treat as property divisible upon divorce military retired pay that has been waived to receive veterans' disability payments" - as a call to essentially take a snapshot when the award to the spouse is made. If sums of disposable retired pay had been waived up to that point, they were not divisible. Where a member sought a post-divorce reduction in retired pay, however, his efforts at re-characterization were seen as attempting a "de facto modification" of a final property award, which state law did not permit. Regardless of the order of events, those litigating cases involving a CBS/REDUX payment will probably find that the law of "early out" cases, and disability cases, provides valuable analogies. C) If a spouse or a dep end ent child eligible or en titled to receive a particular benefit under this paragraph is eligible or entitled to receive that benefit under another provision of law, the eligibility or entitlement of that spouse or former spouse or dependent child to such benefit shall be determined under such other provision of law instead of th s paragraph. As a matter of logic and math, where the member has a free survivorship interest in the spouse’s life, in addition to his own benefits, it seems most appropriate to either have the parties 65279;When reviewing the language of divorce decrees issued after Mansell (i.e., after 1989), courts (especially in earlier years) sometimes examined the decrees at issue for "safeguard" clauses or "indemnification for reduction" clauses, as necessary indicators of intent to protect spouses from members recharacterization of benefits. Where such intent is found, even by implication, the member has been required to reimburse the former spouse for all sums his actions caused to be redirected from the former spouse back to him. The article written by Ms. Decaria includes hypothetical scenarios demonstrating an intractable flaw in the original "Rivero Formula."23 Consideration of statutory deviation factors prior to application of the statutory cap has the effect of negating upward deviations when child support is reduced by the presumptive maximum. Although Ms. Decaria’s article was not intended to address all of the perceived detriments of the "Rivero Formula" as set out in the original Opinion, the authors of this Brief agree with her analysis. We concur that this Court should unequivocallywithdraw the original "Rivero Formula," because it could, and would, cause more problems than it would resolve. Some critics complain that such a formula gives the non-employee former spouse an interest in the employee spouse’s post-divorce earnings, at least where the divorce occurs while the employee is Depending on the letters used in the alphabet soup, enforcing the divorce decree's allocation of retirement benefits to the spouse may - or may not - require litigation. P> Cost of living adjustments seem to cause great difficulty to many practitioners and judges, and even to some actuaries. They are a valuation factor, however, that must be taken into account in dividing military retirement benefits. Simply put, a cost of living adjustment ("COLA") is an increase in the sum of a retirement intended to fully or partly offset the effect of inflationary or other changes in the cost of living. The reason it is so dangerous for practitioners who have done just a few of these, often long ago, is how long they can come back to bite you. As detailed in my various CLE materials, the "discovery rule" basically extends until retirement or death the start date of the statute of limitations for pursuing counsel for any errors in retirement orders - and courts have generally held that the attorney is 100% responsible for getting it right, and that the measure of damages is 100% of any benefits lost. Damages frequently exceed $100,000 - because the pensions were so valuable to begin with. In sum, I would uphold the district court's order as consistent with Nevada statutes that presumptively favor joint custody, especially agreed-upon joint custody, and require that before a joint custody decree is modified, it must be shown that the child's best interest requires the modification. As district courts have broad discretion in deciding custody and support, so long as the policies set by statute are applied, the district court properly adjusted the parties' timeshare agreement and declined to modify the child support obligation to which the parties agreed. There are multiple roles that alimony might play in disability cases, depending on the order in which events occur. Some courts faced with a post-divorce recharacterization of retirement benefits as disability benefits have simply redistributed other property, or compensated the former spouse by an award of post-divorce alimony. One portion of the case law is apparently unanimous. A comprehensive review of the cases throughout the United States reveals that there is no legitimate authority for the proposition that where the divorce decree preceded Mansell, there can ever be a waiver of retired pay by the retiree in favor of VA disability benefits without compensation being required to be paid to the former spouse, dollar for dollar, as to all sums the retiree’s actions caused to be diverted from her back to him. That is the set-up for the kind of dispute discussed here.1 As a technical matter, a divorce court clearly has the authority under the USFSPA to order that the former spouse be deemed the beneficiary of the SBP.2 The question is left to the court’s discretion,3 with the only issue being whether it should do so. UP> In 1986, the California Supreme Court had held in Casas1 that the USFSPA direct payment limitation on state courts was strictly procedural. At least one California case went further, declaring that where the original divorce decree predated McCarty (i.e., June 26, 1981), the existence of a disability is simply irrelevant to the divorce court’s equal division of retirement (and disability) benefits.2 The 1989 United States Supreme Court decision in Mansell,3 discussed in detail above, made all such prior authority questionable.
