But such should be the exception, not the rule. As to the routine custody, visitation, support, and fees orders, the great majority could be decided, ordered, signed, and filed before anyone leaves the courthouse. The process would be faster, the cost to litigants would decrease, and sparing the court the current interminable process of waiting for orders and checking them for accuracy weeks or months after hearings should actually lower net personnel time and costs. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court concluded at the outset that because the issue of child support abatement was not properly before the district court, it was unnecessary to determine whether the district court abused its discretion by abating child support during the summer when the children were visiting. The Court, however, decided to reiterate its position on the issue. The Court again cited to Lewis v. Hicks, 108 Nev. 1107, 1112, 843P.2d 828, 831 (1992) and noted that the limits of a district court’s discretion in deviating Second, some states provide that once a threshold amount of visitation in excess of the "ordinary" 20% visitation is met, the support will be adjusted on a sliding scale to reflect the amount of time the children spend with each parent. Again, these states are making an assumption that when substantial amounts of time are spent with the child, then the costs to the noncustodial parent go up. The thresholds vary from state to state. For example, in Alaska, the threshold is 30% visitation; in Colorado, the threshold is 92 overnights; the District of Columbia requires 40% visitation; in Maryland, the proportionate calculation does not come into play until the child spends 35% of the time with the noncustodial parent; in Michigan, the threshold is 128 days; in North Carolina, the threshold is 123 days; in Oregon, the threshold is 35% custody; in Utah, the threshold is overnight visitation for more than 25% of the year; in Vermont, the threshold is 30% custody. The burden placed upon plaintiff¡¯s counsel is an impossible one ¨C to predict the correct court in which to bring such an action, based on precognition as to whether the court will find that the parties were "holding out" as husband and wife ¨C or not. If so, the case apparently belongs in family court. If not, in the civil/criminal division downtown. So the first order of business for all counsel filing all such actions ¨C at least for now ¨C may be to ask the court where the action is filed for a preliminary ruling at the outset whether it belongs there, to avoid wasting large amounts of time, effort, and money. But such should be the exception, not the rule. As to the routine custody, visitation, support, and fees orders, the great majority could be decided, ordered, signed, and filed before anyone leaves the courthouse. The process would be faster, the cost to litigants would decrease, and sparing the court the current interminable process of waiting for orders and checking them for accuracy weeks or months after hearings should actually lower net personnel time and costs. The situation is quite different when the former spouse sends in a "deemed election" after a court orders the beneficiary designation, but without the active cooperation of the member. In prior years, it was widely believed that the one-year period in which a former spouse must request a deemed election ran concurrently with the one-year period in which a member must make the election after the divorce. It was therefore thought that the former spouse simply lost the SBP designation entirely ifhe or she waited until the member's one-year election period ended. We then turn to private retirement plans, governed by ERISA, and turn to the alphabet soup of the REA, QDROs, QJSAs, etc., from payment options to beneficiary selection. The intent of this section is to allow divorce practitioners to identify and address the issues that should be resolved during divorce litigation, to reduce the amount of post-divorce litigation that often proves so expensive. There are also those who reference the internal intricacies of ERISA and try to create artificial distinctions between the legal doctrines applicable to ERISA-governed welfare plans from those applicable to ERISA-governed pension plans. Most courts have refused to bite at the proposition that mention of the word "ERISA" erases all considerations of other law and equity, and have applied the same principles to all sorts of ERISA-governed benefits. The court rejected the "equal protection" attack on partition of pensions omitted from the initial decrees of some of the plaintiffs, recounting the retirees’ "odysseys through the State and federal courts challenging state court decrees dividing their retirement pay" and noting that the retirees "were unable, as a final matter, to convince any of these courts that division of their retirement pay was unconstitutional or legally improper." The court found that partition of military retirement benefits is precisely the sort of "economic adjustments to promote the common good" that legislatures properly perform, and that any retroactive effect of USFSPA is curative, accomplishes a rational purpose, is entitled to be liberally construed, is shielded from constitutional attack, and serves public policy. It rejected the contract clause and due process arguments as well. A) any court of competent [jurisdiction of any State, the District of Columbia, the Common wealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands; e) When each parent has physical custody of at least one of the children, a theoretical support payment shall be determined for each parent for the children in the custody of the other, prorating the obligations among all children in the household. The obligations shall then be offset, with the parent owing the larger amount being required to pay the difference between the two amounts to the other parent. Presumably, other States could have still different rules for measuring when the community or coverture period started or ended. Such variations could lead to significantly different sums collected by the respective spouses over the course of a lifetime. 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 still working. They argue that the spousal share should be frozen at the earnings level at divorce; a minority of States, including Texas, have adopted this approach, sometimes in cases that do not appear to have contemplated the actual mathematical impact of the decision reached." This minority approach undervalues the spousal interest by giving no compensation for deferred receipt, and also contains a logic problem, at least in a community property analysis, of treating similarly situated persons differently. B> While the details (and math) can be daunting, the above discussion illustrates how counsel armed with a comprehensive understanding of the workings of a retirement plan can alter the financial impacts of survivorship benefits when the equities of the situation call for it. Some similar sort of adjustment to the "default" is possible in virtually every retirement system, but the practitioner must be fully versed on both how the system will operate without tinkering, and what adjustments are possible. SUP> The marriage itself is a defining moment. Even though the deed preceded the marriage ceremony, it is hard to believe that any court would use the various tracing tools discussed above to look past the fact of jointly-titled real estate owned by two married parties,7 and the reasonable expectation would be an equal division of the house value upon divorce. SUP> Most of those who propose a "freeze at divorce" approach either oppose or ignore the question of whether distribution of the spousal share should be mandated at the time of the participant’s first eligibility for retirement.6 It is not possible to fully and fairly evaluate the impact of a "freeze at divorce" proposal without examining that question as well.7 Again, the topic is treated at much greater depth in the military section of the materials, since so many of the cases have involved military retirement. Except in the extremely rare circumstance in which extraordinary changes in rank are anticipated, it would almost always be a mistake for a spouse to defer collection past first eligibility. When a member chooses to continue service after 20 years, ifthe spouse defers receipt of a share of the retirement until actual retirement, the ultimate collection by the spouse is typically decreased, actuarially." Whatever decision is made by the Court as to the original "Rivero Formula," our proposal set out above, or any other alternative, one matter of public policy deserves explicit attention and decision. When the parties were divorced, the district court awarded each party an equal interest in the insurance policies owned by them, including an equal interest in the cash value of said policies, if any. After the decree was filed, the husband canceled his life insurance policies. The husband was found to be in contempt of court and was placed in custody. The district court concluded the cancellation of insurance policies to be a violation of the decree and ordered that the husband be divested of his interest in the marital residence. The equity was approximately one-half the face value of the policies. The following materials start with jurisdictional issues, which are much better addressed at the very beginning of a case. Many attorneys express surprise that even for parties properly before the court, they might have jurisdiction - or not - depending solely on the kind of retirement benefits at issue in the case. If the member’s "Tax Home" is in some jurisdiction that does not have a State income tax on active duty pay (which is common), so that the member may not even have to file a State tax return, the evidence is less persuasive. Often, when the member’s tax home is such a State, further discovery will reveal that the member has little or no other connection with that jurisdiction. Gomez, from the member’s perspective, could be taken as nothing more than an illustration of the danger of not fully asserting all possible procedural and technical defenses, given the decade in which Tom Harms staved off collection by Jill Brown.
