The Marren and Page Case List Reed v Reed and Kennedy v Kennedy Judgments terms of repayment In the meantime, the community property statutes require a presumptive equal division of such property, absent a "compelling reason" for an unequal division and the trial court "sets forth in writing the reasons for making the unequal disposition." NRS 125.150(1). 8) is incapable of self-support because of a mental or physical incapacity that existed before becoming 18 years of age and is dependent on the member or former member for over one-half of the child's support; or P> Under the pre-1993 case law, courts were provided a great range of discretion in the matter of property distribution, but the case law was still muddled by apparently conflicting directions. This view of the time rule essentially provides to the former spouse an ever "smaller slice of a larger pie" by getting a shrinking percentage of a retirement that is increasing in size based upon post-divorce increases in the wage-earner's salary and years in service. Having the member bear the entire premium would only appear to be a correct result if the court determined, based on the entirety of the parties’ economic positions, that the result was mandated as a matter of disparity of income. Similarly, it would be improper to have the Nevada’s formal community property scheme came into existence through the Statutes of 1873, and had been in effect for some 40 years when the separate maintenance statutes were passed in 1913. It is therefore unclear why no mention is made in the separate maintenance statutes of community property or any joint tenancy property. The statutes state only that a court has the power to "assign and decree to either spouse the possession of any real or personal property of the other spouse,"1 which on its face would appear to reference only each spouse’s separate property. The spate of State statutory enactments appear rooted in the patriotic fervor attendant to the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the huge number of people affected by the rounds of deployments and activation of Reserve and Guard units. But such enactments take the focus off of the child involved in such cases, in apparent contradiction of the judicial policy that in making custody determinations, the court’s sole consideration In considering whether to deviate for extraordinary visitation, the courts have developed a two part test. First, the court will determine if the visitation is in fact "extraordinary." Visitation that is little over the standard 20% will usually not be considered extraordinary visitation warranting deviation. See, e.g., Flanagan v. Flanagan, 656 So. 2d 1228 (Ala. Civ. App. 1995) (one month visitation in summer is not extraordinary visitation); In re Marriage of Hornung, 480 N.W.2d 91 (Iowa Ct. APP· 1991) (visitation amounting to 21 % of time for father was not reason for deviation); Temple v. Temple, 651 So. 2d 466 (La. Ct. App. 1995) (statute does not require deviation for extensive visitation; deviation not required, especially where there is no extended continuous period of visitation); Schubert v. Toliver, 905 S.W.2d 924 (Mo. Ct. App. 1995) (father who had custody for two weeks at end of each of three summer months was not entitled to deviation for extraordinary visitation, since he did not ever have children for 30 day stretch); Susan M. v. Louis N., 206 A.D.2d 612, 614 N.Y.S.2d 584 (1994) (partaking of regular visitation is not a reason to deviate down from the guidelines); Gaudette v. Gaudette, 192 A.D.2d 779, 596 N.Y.S.2d 173 (1993) (every weekend visitation does not constitute extraordinary visitation) Connor v. Connor, 434 Pa. Super. 288, 642 A.2d 1136 (1994) (27% visitation not extraordinary). Practitioners must resist the urge to phrase an award as a sum of dollars plus a future percentage of increases. The military pay center will refuse to enforce the COLA provisions of awards phrased in that way, requiring the former spouse to return to court upon the granting of each subsequent COLA in order to get the dollar sum adjusted to reflect the new amount payable (or adjust the award to a percentage). Retirement benefits are essentially a form of deferred reward for service, and so are generally divisible upon divorce, while disability benefits are conceptualized as compensation for future lost wages and opportunities because of disabilities suffered, and are thus typicallynot divisible or attachable. When accepting a disability award requires relinquishing a retirement benefit, the interests of the parties as to the proper characterization of the benefits become instantly polarized.1 The increasingly clownish self-portrayals by our TV-advertising brethren have done plenty to erode public perception of law practice as anything requiring special skill or intelligence, or having particular value. Even those hell-bent on claiming that law practice is a "business" as opposed to a "profession" should see how such a trend is harmful to any effort to project and maintain the perceived value of legal services - and therefore their own eventual bottom lines. But such "practitioners" are too self-centeredly obsessed with short-term cashing in to care about the damage done to the future of the profession and the public it will serve. 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 Court held that since NRS 125.150(1) empowered the district court to "make such disposition of the community property of the parties, as appears just and equitable," and the January decree was expressly interlocutory and reserved jurisdiction over the wife community interest in the retirement rights pending final adjudication of the parties' rights following the May proceeding. The Court then noted that an order or judgment which reserves a question for future consideration and determination is interlocutory and is not a final judgment. citing to Ormachea v. Ormachea, 67 Nev. 273, 217 P.2d 355 (1950); Alper v. Posin, 77 Nev. 328, 363 P.2d 502 (1961) and Elsman v. Elsman, 54 Nev. 20, 2P.2d 139 (1931). It did not immediately appear in the opinion, but apparently the parties stipulated to separate trials. This is admittedly one-sided, but Nevada’s abrogation of the special appearance doctrine, coupled with the limited immunity set out in the relevant statutes, pretty much creates this situation whenever the out-of State litigant does not consent to the jurisdiction of the Nevada courts over him. Such a statement, in a pleading or preliminary motion filing, is all that is apparently required to prevent Nevada from imposing fees against such a party, even as he seeks custody, or litigates support, or even seeks fees from the Nevada resident. PAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> SERVICE ON U.S. MILITARY PERSONNEL ABROAD: We understand that the general position of the military departments is that the service of civil process on military personnel stationed abroad (or at sea) is not a proper military function. Thus, governing military regulations expressly prohibit commanders from serving civil process upon their personnel unless the individual agrees to accept the process voluntarily. Generally, commanders or other officials in charge when contacted about service of process on an employee will bring the matter to the attention of the individual and will determine whether he or she wishes to accept service voluntarily. If the individual does not desire to accept service, the party requesting such service will be notified and will be advised to follow the procedures prescribed The premiums for Option A work like normal SBP premiums, in that they come "off the top" of benefits payable. Premiums for Options B and C are paid by way of that reduction, plus an actuarial reduction in the benefits paid. This is how the system accounts for coverage being in existence years before eligibility for retirement benefits is reached. In the meantime, the community property statutes require a presumptive equal division of such property, absent a "compelling reason" for an unequal division and the trial court "sets forth in writing the reasons for making the unequal disposition." NRS 125.150(1). Many of the jurisdictional rules for modification of a child support order are the same as those discussed above for initiation of such a case - such as the permissible bases for exercise and application of the long-arm statute. The tangible products of that career asset over time are spun off as "hard" assets - cash that can be saved, invested, or used for the purchase of tangible goods, or income deferred as divisible retirement benefits. But the remaining intangible potential for further production is not usually quantified in any overt way, other than by determining if the worker's business is a "going concern," or whether or not a professional remains in practice. On the other hand, Steve Dallas, a lawyer character from the comic strip "Bloom County," was once depicted as stating: "Never, never, never sue poor people!" While this over-dramatizes the question, the sobering reality is that mounting a tort case against a number of defendants, often located in several states (or countries), is an extraordinarily complex, and expensive process.1 Without some good faith belief that someone in the reasonable chain of liability might actually be able to be compelled to pay a resulting judgment, counsel should hesitate before filing such an action, even when evidence of liability seems clear. She filed a "Complaint for Partition of Omitted Property and Enforcement of Express Contract" in the Nevada courts. The member essentially ignored the action; default was granted, and the former spouse began receiving the promised share of the military retirement benefits.2 The valuation problem for defined contribution plans has not received nearly enough attention in the case law. If the marriage was not completely coextensive with the period of contributions, and there was any variation in the relative rate of contribution over time, a standard time-rule analysis to value the spousal share might not be appropriate at all. It would appear to be more precise - i.e., "fairer" - to trace the actual contributions to such an account from community and separate sources, and attribute interest and dividends over time accordingly.1 The scant case authority squarely addressing this issue has agreed with that proposition.2 Another common error of courts and counsel dividing defined contribution plans is the failure to take into account the time that will pass between the agreement or court proceeding and the physical division of the account. This can be done, easily, by a few words either providing for sharing of the investment gains and losses until actual distribution, or by freezing the spousal share at a specific sum for transfer. For the various reasons set out at the "public workshop" in 2004, and in this article, the opposite is true. The Welfare Division’s approach is inaccurate, sloppy, partially counterproductive, and not what was intended when the provision was drafted in 1993. Whether or not Welfare is held accountable for its bungling of the issue, it is unconscionable for them to try to get the Family Courts to follow suit. The Supreme Court disagreed with the district court’s conclusion as to constitutionality. The Court noted that the right to travel encompasses three components protecting the right of a citizen of one State to enter and to leave another State, the right to be treated as a welcome visitor rather than an unfriendly alien when temporarily present in the second State, and, for those travelers who elect to become permanent residents, the right to be treated like other citizens of that State. The Court also affirmed that it has long recognized that a supportable classification between individuals was not unconstitutional  so long as "all persons similarly situated are treated alike."  Practitioners must resist the urge to phrase an award as a sum of dollars plus a future percentage of increases. The military pay center will refuse to enforce the COLA provisions of awards phrased in that way, requiring the former spouse to return to court upon the granting of each subsequent COLA in order to get the dollar sum adjusted to reflect the new amount payable (or adjust the award to a percentage).
