Community Property profits from separate property

First, we address the district court's finding that the parties had a joint physical custody arrangement. In reaching our conclusion, we clarify that parties may enter into custody agreements and create their own custody terms and definitions. The courts may enforce such agreements as contracts. However, once the parties move the court to modify the custody agreement, the court must use the terms and definitions under Nevada law. In this case, the district court properly disregarded the parties' definition of joint physical custody in the divorce decree and applied Nevada law in determining that an equal timeshare was appropriate. Although it reached the proper conclusion, the district court abused its discretion by failing to set forth specific findings of fact to support its determination. Finally, the Alaska formulation contains a "look-back" provision under which courts are to eliminate the joint-custody offset if it was set up based on a custodial schedule that was not in fact followed by the minority-time-share parent, restoring full guideline support. The parties had two children. The mother received primary custody and the fther was ordered to pay support fo $250 per month, per child until each child reached the age of 18, was married, or was otherwise earlier emancipated. After the order was entered, NRS 125.510 was amended to extend child support obligations until a child completed high school or reached the age of 19. The statute became effective on July 1, 1985. In October 1987, the mother filed a motion to modify the child support obligation for both children. On November 1, the oldest child turned 18. In March 1989, the district court found that it did not have jurisdiction to modify the support provisions for the eldest child because the motion was filed after the father had formally discharged his support obligation. The district court also found that NRS 125.510(6) operated prospectively only and could not be applied to the eldest child. The district court further determined that pursuant to NRS 125.510(6), the father’s support obligation to the youngest child was extended until she graduated from high school. It is necessary for the practice of law, at minimum by way of management of supervision, to be conducted by lawyers - if we want to preserve the appearance - and substance - that legal work merits the honor, and protections - and value - historically ascribed to it. For example, in the common situation of a divorce occurring after the worker had retired, and already selected a QJSA, it is no longer possible to divide the retirement interest, providing one pension stream to the worker (as to whom the spouse’s continuing life or death would be irrelevant), and another to the spouse (as to whom the worker’s continuing life or death would be irrelevant). Rather, counsel would only have the lifetime benefit stream to divide, keeping in mind whatever QJSA option was selected at retirement. Some plans, further, override choices, providing for automatic reversion of the spousal interest if she predeceases the member, irrespective of any court orders, and refusing to qualify court orders providing otherwise. First, we address the district court's finding that the parties had a joint physical custody arrangement. In reaching our conclusion, we clarify that parties may enter into custody agreements and create their own custody terms and definitions. The courts may enforce such agreements as contracts. However, once the parties move the court to modify the custody agreement, the court must use the terms and definitions under Nevada law.

Although it reached the proper conclusion, the district court abused its discretion by failing to set forth specific findings of fact to support its determination. 65279;Partition actions, to be enforceable, must be brought with both sufficient "federal jurisdiction" under 10 U.S.C. § 1408 and adequate state court jurisdiction. When the partition action is brought in a different state than the one which granted the divorce, some courts have applied the partition law of the former matrimonial domicile, while others have elected to use the law of the forum where the suit is heard. The USFSPA now only allows partition (or any other post-divorce order affecting the retirement benefits) if the issuing court has proper federal jurisdiction over both the member and the former spouse in the action. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court first noted that even though Nevada is a notice pleading jurisdiction, a party must be given reasonable advance notice of an issue to be raised and an opportunity to respond citing to Schwartz v. Schwartz, 95 Nev. 202, 206, 591 P.2d 1137, 1140 (1979). The Court concluded by waiting until the submission of the proposed order to address child support abatement, the sharing of child visitation transportation costs, and changing the due date of support payments, the husband effectively denied the wife an opportunity to respond. The Court held that those issues were not properly before the district court. The Court further elaborated on its position. The Court cited to Barbagallo v. Barbagallo, 105 Nev. 546, 552, 779 P.2d 532, 536 (1989) and noted that the primary custodian’s expenses do not go down when the children are visiting. The Court held that the district court abused its discretion by abating child support during the summer visitation. c. The respective adjusted base child support obligations for each parent are then offset, with the parent owing more base child support paying the difference between the two amounts to the other parent. The base child support obligation of the parent owing the lesser amount is then set at zero dollars ($0.00). Second, each year the COLA for such members is less than for other retirees (Consumer Price Index adjustment minus one percent). However, at age 62, the retiree’s monthly income is recomputed to supply the sum that would have been paid if the full COLA had been applied every year from retirement to age 62, which at that moment becomes prospectively payable, as if there had not been reductions during those intervening years.3 After that "restoral," however, the reduction returns with each COLA after age 62 for life. statutes already presume a contribution to some of the child’s expenses by the minority time-share parent during visitation, or joint custody. That is one reason guideline support is already lower than necessary to adequately support children, as set out above. 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. However, failure of a spouse to prepare and record such a written inventory does not automatically result in forfeiture of the property’s status as separate; rather, it may be used as evidence to be considered in determining whether the property is separate or community.8 SUP> The bottom line is that the face of the statute requires jurisdiction under its terms for a valid custody order to be entered. Under the facts set out above, the parties would be required to either get a child custody order in the children¡¯s Home State, or obtain an order of the courts of that State declining to exercise jurisdiction. Absent the latter, the Nevada action should not include child custody. The second rung is "significant connection" jurisdiction.5 A Nevada court may make an initial custody determination if a court of another state does not have home state jurisdiction, or that home state court has declined to exercise jurisdiction based on its finding that Nevada would be the more appropriate forum. An exercise of jurisdiction on this basis also requires that the child and at least one parent have a "significant connection" to Nevada other than "mere physical presence," and that there is "substantial evidence" here concerning the child¡¯s care, protection, training and personal relationships. 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. The down-side to such an arrangement for the former spouse is risk of further litigation - some members have sought court orders revoking such bargained-for "irrevocable" awards, usually based on the changed circumstances of one party or the other. Even when the former spouse prevails, there is a substantial expense.1 There is little Nevada statutory law specifically directed to retirement benefits. Instead, they fall under the general definition of community property in NRS 123.220: "all property" acquired after marriage, with certain exceptions. All such property is divided under NRS 125.150 - the key statute governing division of property upon divorce - which mandates an equal distribution of community property, in the absence written reasons for finding a "compelling reason" to make an unequal disposition.1 The list - just over the last two years - is longer than that, and it may take many years to correct the problems that have been created or exacerbated by inadvertence in such decisions. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that SPOUSE has a putative interest in the military retirement benefits accruing to MEMBER as a result of his service in the United States Armed Forces, as her sole and separate property, equal to % (one half of_ months of military service performed during marriage divided by _ months of MEMBER's military service) of the sum payable to MEMBER upon eligibility for retirement, plus a like percentage of all cost ofliving adjustment increases that accrue to said military retirement benefits thereafter, computed from the gross sum thereof. For the purpose of interpreting this Court's intention in making the division set out in this Order, "military retirement" includes retired pay paid or to which MEMBER would be entitled for longevity of active duty and/or reserve component military service and all payments paid or payable under the provisions of Chapter 38 or Chapter 61 of Title 10 of the United States Code, before any statutory, regulatory, or elective deductions are applied (except for deductions because of an election to provide a survivor benefit annuity to SPOUSE). It also includes all amounts of retired pay MEMBER actually or constructively waives or forfeits in any manner and for any reason or purpose, including but not limited to any waiver made in order to qualify for Veterans Administration benefits, or reduction in payor benefits because of other federal employment, and any waiver arising from MEMBER electing not to retire despite being qualified to retire. It also includes any sum taken by MEMBER in addition to or in lieu of retirement benefits, including but not limited to REDUX lump sum payments, exit bonuses, voluntary separation incentive pay, special separation benefit, or any other form of compensation attributable to separation from military service instead of or in addition to payment of the military retirement benefits normally payable to a retired member, except that the percentage of such benefits payable to SPOUSE will have to be [AL T would have had to have been] recalculated to take into account that less than 240 months of total service have accrued. For many years, members of Congress introduced "concurrent receipt" bills of various sorts seeking to repeal, to a greater or lesser extent, the requirement of waiver of longevity retired pay in order to receive disability pay. Of course, any such program would cost the government the entirety of the additional VA payment, which is why it was resisted so strenuously for so long. And in scenario nine, the reduced burden is equally divided between the parties, for the same reasons as set out in scenario five, but without over-securing the former spouse.11 SUP> The new law, codified at 10 U.S.C. § 1408(a)(4), addressed all of the problems listed above. Taxes were no longer taken "off the top" before the retirement benefits were divided. Both spouses were sent W-2Ps reflecting what they received during the year (thus allowing for reasonable tax planning),and courts were permitted to divide what was essentially the gross sum of benefits, as they intended. The parties were never married. In the early fall of 1990, the mother decided to accept a job transfer. In September, the father, fearing that the mother might flee with the child, filed a complaint to establish custody. The father requested that he of receive joint legal custody, but that the mother receive primary physical custody. After a hearing, the district court granted the father temporary primary physical custody and ordered a custody evaluation. After a custody hearing, the district court concluded that the father provided the more stable living environment. During the next several months, the mother contended that the father prevented her from having phone contact and in-person visitation.  Pension and retirement plans have become ubiquitous; practitioners cannot afford to not know a great deal of the detail required to provide for the adequate disposition upon divorce of what is probably the first or second most valuable asset of the marriage. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court concluded that district court incorrectly assumed that support beyond $500 of NRS I 25B.070(2) could only be awarded on showing that needs of a particular child are not met by that sum. The Court quoted from Herz v. Gabler-Herz, 107 Nev. 1l7, 118,808 P.2d I, I (1991), "[there was and is nothing in the applicable statutes to preclude the district court from awarding an additional amount of child support based on some factor other than increased need." The father's income was expressly ruled "relevant" to support; argument to contrary was "completely untenable." The Court concluded that among the factors which the district court must consider when deviating from the formula is "[the relative income of both parents," citing to NRS 125B.080(9)(1). Because of that, the Court held that denying the daughter discovery and a hearing, the district court erred. 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. 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. Categorizing it as an action involving "an unmarried, childless couple, who used to live together and now dispute the ownership of property," the four-justice majority found that because NRS 3.223 did not give the family courts explicit jurisdiction to adjudicate such disputes, the family court¡¯s judgment was void for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. UP> 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. The three Tennessee courts all rejected arguments that recharacterization by the member was silently allowed by orders that did not prohibit (or mention) disability pay. They rejected all arguments regarding "implied federal pre-emption." Hillyer involved a 1986 divorce decree, while Johnson construed a decree issued in 1996; the fact that the decrees at issue were issued after passage of the USFSPA, or Mansell, was considered irrelevant. 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. 65279;The matter is somewhat more complicated, however, as detailed in the Thrift Savings Plan section of these materials. For now, it is probably sufficient to state that any disability presents an opportunity for a sum of cash, which could be substantial, to disappear during or after the divorce. If the divorce precedes separation from service, it is probably a good idea to get a court order on file just as early as possible either prohibiting any withdrawals, or at least sheltering the sum to which the former spouse is to assert a claim. Connecticut                                                                                                          X The survivor of a member who died while still on active duty is not necessarily excluded from receiving SBP benefits. The Finance Centers will honor a member's election to treat a former spouse as the SBP beneficiary if the member died after: (1) becoming eligible to receive retired pay; (2) qualifying for retired pay but not yet having applied for or been granted that pay; or (3) completing twenty years of service, but not yet completing ten years of active commissioned service needed for retirement as a commissioned officer. The procedural requirements are the same as in other cases. In a nine year overlap case, the former spouse has a putative 22.5% interest (i.e., 9 ÷ 20 x ½). Some courts, seeking to make their awards enforceable, will characterize the property award as alimony upon request. Where the court cannot or will not do so, the attorney for the spouse has something of a dilemma, which is sometimes resolved by negotiations involving trade of a few percentage points of value for a stipulated award of irrevocable alimony.
