A Withdrawal and Borrowing of Money from the TSP During ServiceSUP> It is more difficult to conceptualize a presumptive maximum deviation upward where the statutory presumptive maximum did not apply to reduce guideline support. When a minority time-share parent makes less than about $40,000 per year, even the one-child presumptive maximum does not activate, and any upward deviation based on the lack of normal visitation would have to be tailored to some approximation of the additional costs being borne in the majority time-share parent’s household for the lack of the minority time-share parent’s direct contribution. Note: this provision does not entitle the alternate payee to receive a portion of payable survivor benefits, as those benefits are only payable to a current spouse or dependent children of the participant, or the designated beneficiary listed on the PERS Unmarried Members of the System Form). 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. It can hardly be adequately stressed that the Convention does not give rise to custody proceedings; as explained in greater detail below, it is concerned with return of children to their countries of habitual residence, which is where any custody proceedings should be held. To the degree that the order rendered by a court deciding a Hague Convention case provides physical "custody" of a child, it does so only long enough to allow a petitioner to reach and enter another State, and perhaps long enough to initiate appropriate custody proceedings there.10 Somebody asked me a question in the recent past as to whether attorneys fees incurred on appeal could be awarded in the district court on remand. Because I can’t remember who, and because my answer may no longer be correct, I thought it best to broadcast the revised response. PAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> The military member had appealed in Payne, claiming that the SBP should be funded solely by the former spouse because it is "a court-created asset for her benefit alone." The appellate court rejected that argument, holding instead that the SBP is "an equitable mechanism selected by the trial court to preserve an existing asset - the wife’s interest in the military pension."3 Many other courts have reached the same conclusion.4 Some courts have viewed the survivorship benefit as a means of insurance, to ensure that the former spouse continues to receive retirement benefits, making the division of the retirement more equitable.5 The district court entered a partial decree of divorce in January 1976, which terminated the marriage, however, it expressly reserved jurisdiction to issue a subsequent decree regarding the division of community property and community debts, and the award of alimony. That supplemental decree was entered May 1976. B) The Secretary concerned shall hold th e am aunt retain ed un der clause (ii) of subparagraph (A) until such time as that Secretary is provided with a court order which has been certified by the member and the spouse or former spouse to be valid and applicable to the retained amount. Upon being provided with such an order, the Secretary shall pay the retained amount in accordance with the order. B> Fern v. United States was an unusual case in that the defendant was not a former spouse but the United States itself. The suit sought to have the USFSPA declared invalid to the extent that it entitled the government to reduce the retired pay flowing to the members themselves. In other words, the members contended that, irrespective of any award to any former spouse, the full sum of retired pay should be paid to the members. It alleged unconstitutional "taking" of property in violation of the Fifth Amendment, an unconstitutional impairment of contracts with the United States (by which the members contended that they alone were to receive the entirety of their retirement benefits), and that spousal awards under the USFSP A were due process violations. bsp; 2. Court can vary and make disproportionate awards of property if it finds "compelling reasons" to do so (Lofgren and Putterman) cases, usually involving fraud, financial misconduct, waste, etc. The following provision, NRS 125B.080, explains the various reasons the guideline amounts can be modified, including a list of statutory deviation factors. One of these, NRS 125B.080(9)(j), is: "the amount of time the child spends with each parent." B> Characterization of property as separate or community at the time of divorce can be an extremely important issue, since Nevada courts are without jurisdiction to award the separate property of one spouse to the other or to the children except for support purposes.1 If a non-alimony resolution is desired, or necessary, it is difficult in most cases to come up with sufficient security for such a lifetime stream of payments. This is a problem in jurisdictions which have formal or informal barriers to establishment of alimony awards. And, of course, all the risks associated with bankruptcy are a factor when the spouse exchanges a pension share for anything else, though these risks may be somewhat mitigated by enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005,6 which provided that all "domestic support obligations" have priority before all but administrative expenses.7 I have a threshold concern with court-mandated formulas, in general, and with the 40-percent joint physical custody formula the majority adopts in this case, in particular, to determine child support and relocation disputes. A legislature has the capacity to debate social policy and to enact, amend, and repeal laws as experience and society dictate. Courts do not. The law courts apply is precedentdriven, or has its origin in statute or constitutional mandate. It is not only that judges tend to be innumerate, or that court-adopted formulas are of suspect provenance-though both are so--it is that laws adopted by judges are difficult to change if they do not work out. Because courts decide individual questions in individual cases, a bad rule of law can take a long time to return to a court; meanwhile, reliance interests counseling against changing that law are built. As the controversy over the original opinion and its withdrawal and replacement in this case suggest, establishing formulas is ordinarily best left to the Legislature. As early as 1969, however, some States had declared pension rights to be community property, divisible upon divorce.2 The tide had clearly turned on this question, at least in the community property states, when the California Supreme Court issued its 1974 opinion in Fithian.3 Pension decisions, at first, addressed benefits which were vested at the time of divorce. Eventually, divisibility was extended to non-vested and unmatured retirement benefits as well.4 From the member’s point of view, it will appear (and actually be) that upon actual retirement, the spousal share is growing faster than the member’s share each year, whittling away at what the member is receiving while increasing what the spouse is receiving. 2) Without regard to which parent initiated the support action, when the children spend equal time with both parents, the Part II formula cannot be applied unless the obligor is the parent with the higher income. In no event shall an order be entered requiring the parent with the lower income to pay basic child support to the parent with the higher income. However, nothing in this subdivision shall prevent the entry of an order requiring the parent with less income to contribute to additional expenses pursuant to Rule 1910.16-6. Pursuant to either party's initiating a support action, the trier of fact may enter an order against either party based upon the evidence presented without regard to which party initiated the action. If application of the formula in Part II results in the obligee receiving a larger share of the parties' combined income in cases in which the parties share custody equally, then the court shall adjust the support obligation so that the combined income is allocated equally between the two households. Presumably, all the normal rules regarding arrearages still exist (including the illogical, and apparently accidental rule that arrearages in retired pay cannot be collected from retired pay). Those with arrearages in child support or alimony, however, could initiate a withholding order that includes a payment toward the arrearage. Nevada’s "long-arm" statute subjects a person to the personal jurisdiction of Nevada’s courts in certain circumstances. In 1993, the Nevada Legislature replaced a much larger provision with a simple statement maximizing the reach of the Nevada courts: Whether everyone is living happily together or not, if the member dies before a divorce is final,1 the spouse is the recipient of certain benefits made available for the survivors of active duty military personnel, under 38 U.S.C. § 1311(a), which created a program called Dependency and Indemnity Compensation ("DIC"). DIC payments have been payable to the survivors of any veteran who died after December 31, 1956, from a service-connected or compensable disability.2 DIC payments are not made to persons divorced from members.3 The Court has said little about the subject in the past 20 years, merely re-affirming its Ford holding in Malmquist v. Malmquist, 106 Nev. 231, 792 P.2d 372 (1990), where it repeated the holding stated above. When Congress next amended the Act in 1990, it did nothing to address the Mansell holding. Thus, Mansell is often read to stand for the proposition that the subject matter jurisdiction of the state divorce courts is limited to division of "disposable retired pay." This may be less important than was thought at the time, however, since courts have widely expressed a willingness to consider the impact of disability or other benefits not included in the definition of "disposable retired pay" when dividing assets between spouses. A military couple was married in Florida, where their first child was born, and moved to Nevada by reason of military transfer in 1991. Their second child was born in Las Vegas. In 1995, the mother filed for divorce; in 1996, they were awarded joint legal and physical custody, with the mother receiving temporary primary physical custody, and the father receiving four days of visitation per week. The parties reached a handwritten agreement which carried that custodial arrangement forward. The mother, feeling unable to sustain herself in Las Vegas, filed a petition to move. The lower court found on balance that the mother’s petition was brought in good faith, but nevertheless denied relocation based on an inability to fashion a feasible alternative visitation schedule. Specifically, the court found that the father’s work schedule made it impossible to compensate him for the time he would lose if the children moved (he was a firefighter, working four 24-hour shifts every eight days). The lower court had found that neither frequent short trips nor longer trips would work, given the ages of the children, the six-hour flying time between Florida and Nevada, the father’s work schedule. For attorney’s fees, the Court concluded that Leeming v. Leeming, 87 Nev. 530, 490 P.2d 342 (1971) was controlling and held that the power of the court to award attorney’s fees in divorce actions remained a part of the continuing jurisdiction of the in appropriate postjudgment motion relating to support and child custody. Duff v. Foster, 110 Nev. 1306, 885 P.2d 589 (1994), was overruled to the extent that the earlier decision held that attorney’s fees could not be awarded in post-divorce proceedings. The Court held that under NRS 125.150(3), attorney’s fees can be awarded. However, because the district court’s decision concerning relocation was reversed, the Court concluded the award of attorney fees must also be reversed. Under the original enactment of the USFSPA, which governed all divorce decrees filed prior to February 4, 1991, the military pay center withheld taxes from the gross retired pay, divided the post-tax amount between the member and the spouse pursuant to court order, and sent a check to each.1 At the end of each year, the member was eligible to claim a tax credit for amounts withheld on sums ultimately paid to the former spouse, and the former spouse owed a tax liability for any amounts received. UP> And determining what the State¡¯s interest might be requires only looking to the legislative history to see what problem was supposedly being addressed. Nearly a hundred years ago, this Court A legal note from Marshal Willick about Garner, rogue attorneys, fraud on the court, and whether represented parties must now sign consents to orders (and an invite to an open house) There are no "survivorship" benefits, per se, for a TSP account, as it is a cash plan like a 401(k). However, plan participants can and should designate beneficiaries to receive the account balance in the event of the participant’s death.1 In the absence of the form, regular intestate succession rules determine the distribution of the TSP account. Over the years, Congress has made numerous changes in the method of COLA computations. This has resulted in persons with identical ranks and lengths of service being paid different sums of retired pay depending upon their dates of retirement. A legal note from Marshal Willick about how if either spouse has a retirement, the QDRO should be finished simultaneously with the divorce - and how you are not done then, either SUP> It is more difficult to conceptualize a presumptive maximum deviation upward where the statutory presumptive maximum did not apply to reduce guideline support. When a minority time-share parent makes less than about $40,000 per year, even the one-child presumptive maximum does not activate, and any upward deviation based on the lack of normal visitation would have to be tailored to some approximation of the additional costs being borne in the majority time-share parent’s household for the lack of the minority time-share parent’s direct contribution. In a military case, an order dividing retired pay as the property of the member and the former spouse will only be honored by the military if the issuing court exercised personal jurisdiction over the member by reason of: (1) residence in the territorial jurisdiction of the court (other than by military assignment); (2) domicile in the territorial jurisdiction of the court; or (3) consent to the jurisdiction of the court.2 The appellate court restated the question as being the time of valuation, with the choices being the sum the husband would have been able to receive if he had retired at divorce, or the sum payable at retirement. The court acknowledged that the longer the husband worked after divorce, the smaller the wife¡¯s portion became. The court accepted the wife¡¯s position that to "lock in" the value of the wife¡¯s interest to the value at divorce, while delaying payment to actual retirement, prevented the wife from "earning a reasonable return on her interest." The problem with reading the statute to mean exactly what it says is that any such interpretation would be in direct conflict with this Court’s mandates in Gemma, Fondi, and Sertic that the member must make direct payments to the former spouse upon eligibility for retirement, In any event, for the short term, there remains the question of arrearages, consisting of sums of retired pay that retirees waived and personally collected in the form of disability pay to the exclusion of the former spouse. As to those cases, all of the above factors remain relevant. The legislation did not contain any authority for DFAS to issue retroactive payments. In its original form, the proposed legislation would have stated that unvested retirement benefits were not divisible at all, effectively reversing Forrest2 and Gemma.3 It also would have required a dollar-for-dollar offset of Social Security benefits, effectively reversing this Court’s holding in Wolff and Boulter4 that such benefits are immune from such offsets as a matter of federal In other words, unlike the situation for custody, it is easy to propose facts under which more than one State would have initial child support jurisdiction, simultaneously. The case dealt with NRS 125B.050 repealing the six year statute of limitations regarding collection of child support arrears applying prospectively, not retroactively. The parties were divorced August 27, 1974. The father was ordered to pay support of $300 per month for the parties’ child and was ordered to pay medical and educational expenses. In July 1977, the father stopped making support payments and in May 1991, the mother filed an action to collect arrears going back to 1977. The referee found that the mother did not waive her right to collect arrears and awarded her child support arrears with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, medical and schooling expenses with post-judgment interest and attorney’s fees. The district court upheld the referee’s decision and awarded the mother $122,521.
