B The Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act 10 USC 1408The parties were married in May 1930 and divorced in November 1945. The property settlement agreement obligated the husband to pay $750 per month for the life of the wife in return for her releasing all community property claims she might have against the husband. It was further agreed that one-third of each monthly payment was to be the portion payable for the support, maintenance, and education of the parties’ minor child. The agreement however, also stated that the payments for the child would not in any way affect the requirement of this decree for the payment to the wife during her life of the full amount of the monthly payment of $750 provided for by way of property settlement. The wife remarried in October 1956, and the daughter emancipated in December 1957. The husband then moved to enter satisfaction of judgment based upon the wife’s remarriage and the child’s emancipation, contending that the payments were alimony. The district court denied the husband's request. B> Neither the Hague Convention, nor ICARA, has any particular requirement for a formal hearing prior to issuance of an Order Directing Return of Child. In practice, however, judges are loathe to issue any such orders without convening at least one hearing on the question of whether such an order should issue. It makes little sense to spend time or money arguing about the merits of cases when the court lacks jurisdiction to act on the subject at all. Lawyers should always focus on the existence or non-existence of jurisdiction as to the subject sought to be brought before the court when initiating (or responding to) any new matter. SUP> This view of the time rule essentially provides to the former spouse a "smaller slice of a larger pie" by getting a shrinking percentage of a retirement based upon post-divorce increases in the wage-earner’s salary and years in service.3 By requiring a focus on the practical likelihood of payment of an alimony award, the case is a positive, if small, step in the creation of a law of alimony that serves the goals of predictability, adequacy, and consistency. And there are some us - in contrast to others claiming that such structures "take all the creativity out of lawyering" - who consider that a good thing. B> Criticism of the "Rivero Formula" falls into three broad categories. First, as noted in the article written by Mary Anne Decaria, which was attached as an exhibit to the Petition for Rehearing,22 the "Rivero Formula" completely negates the effect of the deviation factors set forth in NRS 125.080 in certain circumstances. bsp; B. Modification of Alimony Awards - generally, modifiable until last day of last month when last payment is due, based on assertion of changed circumstances. 2. There are three children the issue of this marriage, each born in Japan: Yemeko, born June 17, 1998; Jin, born September 9, 1999; and, Miku, born September 30, 2002. Respondent Elvis Rivero's petition for rehearing followed. We then ordered answers to the petition from appellant Michelle Rivero and amicus curiae, the State Bar of Nevada Family Law Section. The ability of an abductor to travel internationally - and to seize a child in doing so - implies a command of at least some resources, but our experience is that a sizeable number of abductors are, to a substantial degree, "judgment proof." Even those who are not tend to be reasonably versed in the vagaries of international travel, and currency conversion and disguise, so that enforcing judgments against them is extraordinarily difficult. The attorney for the former spouse should try to provide for the court’s continuing jurisdiction to enforce its award by means of post-divorce order.1 Virtually all of the things that could happen after divorce to change the expectations of the parties as to payments will work to the disadvantage of the former spouse, so it is that party who must make it as simple as possible to get back into court to correct later problems. In further exposition, the Court found the child support statutes binding in all cases, with parties permitted to deviate upward or downward from the guidelines only on stated facts which are made written findings by a trial court, and based on the statutory factors of NRS 125B.080(9), which it further found are "exclusive, not illustrative." The second scenario is the California experience. A number of cases have appeared in Nevada from parties who had child support set in California. As noted, the California income-shares model is so complex that just figuring guideline child support, before considering deviations, requires a computer program. Salient features of the California income-shares formula include that there is no presumptive maximum of any kind, and a direct sliding scale of support in relation to custodial time. No explanation for the omission of community property from the separate maintenance statutes appears on their face, in the case law, or in any surviving legislative history. Still, each spouse owns an undivided one-half interest in all community property pursuant to NRS 123.225 (although that statute dates to only 1959), so interpreting the statute as including authority for the district court to make orders concerning community or joint tenancy property, as well as separate property, seems reasonable. When the Senate Judiciary Committee was informed of the various problems with the bill, that evening, instructions were given to have it quietly amended, essentially overnight and with no record other than the bill draft itself, but the Section was informed that it could not be killed entirely, apparently as a matter of comity from chamber to chamber. The worst portions of the bill were removed between June 28 and June 30, 1995; it was redirected to apply solely to PERS retirements, and was reprinted, passed, and returned to the Assembly, which concurred in the amendments without other record. The former spouse is taxed on Survivor’s Benefit Plan payments as he or she would be for other payments from an annuity.1 The payments to the former spouse are taxable income. Bankruptcy poses many problems in this area. When a member chooses to try to defeat the divorce court’s order in bankruptcy court, the only guarantee is greater expenses for both parties and further litigation. 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. 65279;The Supreme Court reversed. The Court first noted that amount of alimony is within the sound discretion of the district court, citing to Rutar v. Rutar, 108 Nev. 203, 205, 827 P .2d 829, 831 (1992). The Court also noted that a court must award such alimony as appears "just and equitable," having regard to the conditions in which the parties will be left by the divorce, citing to NRS 125.150. The Court listed seven alimony factors that should be considered by the district courts in deciding whether and how much alimony to award: (1) the wife's career prior to the marriage; (2) the length of the marriage; (3) the husband's education during the marriage; (4) the wife's marketability; (5) the wife's ability to support herself; (6) whether the wife stayed home with the children; and (7) the wife's award, besides child support and alimony. Maryland X The Court’s concern is well-grounded from the face of ICARA, and the question posed has been asked by several federal district court judges in identical circumstances. In In re Application of McCullough, 4 Supp. 2d 411(U.D. Pa. 1998) a Canadian father filed a petition for return under the Hague Convention, along with an ex parte petition for the issuance of warrant in place of a writ of habeas corpus, seeking to take the two children of the parties into custody. The facts indicated that the mother might flee the area or country with the children. Potter v. Potter, 19 P.3d 1246, 121 Nev. Adv. Rep. 60 (September 22, 2005)The parties were married in 1994 and had one child. Shortly after the child was born, the parties divorced. The mother was initially awarded primary custody. The parties later agreed to share joint physical custody. In 2003, the mother received an employment offer from a California hospital for a nurse position at a higher salary. The mother filed a move motion. In the motion, the mother indicated that she also wished to become a nurse anesthesiologist degree which could not be done in Las Vegas and that her employer would pay much of the expenses. The father contended that the mother could not file a relocation petition unless she first successfully moved for primary custody. The father further claimed that he should receive primary physical custody. The district court treated motion as a move motion and did not address the father’s request for custody. The district court conducted a Schwartz analysis and concluded that the mother should receive permission to move. The district court granted primary physical custody to the mother provided for significant contact and visitation between the father and the child. The Supreme Court reversed. The parties agreed that the relocation statute did not apply to joint physical custody arrangements. The parties disagreed as to what should happen when a parent wished to sever joint physical custody, seek primary physical custody, and relocate with the child out of state. The Court reviewed NRS 125C.200. The Court noted that the statute did not define custodial parent and the statute contained no reference to shared or joint custody in contrast to the prior version of the statute. The Court also reviewed the legislative history. The Court noted that the legislative history showed that the Legislature intended that the move statute only applied to primary physical custody situations. The Court held that a parent sharing joint physical custody is not eligible to petition to relocate with a minor child under NRS 125C.200. The Court further held that district courts must apply NRS 125.510(2) and the best interest of the child standard to such situations and when a parent with joint physical custody of a child wished to relocate outside of Nevada with the child, that parent must move for primary physical custody for the purposes of relocating. The Court additionally directed that a district court must consider the motion for primary custody under the best interest of the child standard established for joint custody situations in NRS 125.510 and Truax v. Truax, 110 Nev. 437, 874 P.2d 10 (1994). The moving party has the burden of establishing that it is in the child’s best interest to reside outside of the state with the moving parent as the primary physical custodian. Especially when the retirement of the member is to be many years in the future, it might be necessary, as a practical matter, to state in the Court order a presumed rate of cost of living increases, and include a reservation of jurisdiction to submit a later order, resetting the spousal percentage as a percentage of whatever the member actually receives at that time. Even so, for the next fifteen years, the member will have a different, lower percentage of COLA increase than the spouse will have. And if the member does not retire exactly on an anniversary of his retirement eligibility date, then the former spouse’s hypothetical COLA increase date will be on a different date then the member’s date, in perpetuity. Rendering a ruling for the Nevada litigant on the basis set out was unfortunate. Others will review Ogawa elsewhere in years to come, and it may look like one of the sort of parochial decisions in favor of whichever party happened to live in the jurisdiction rendering the decision that tend to be condemned, if not ridiculed, by later reviewing courts. Other courts have expressly found that reimbursement is required, whether or not there was any kind of indemnification or safeguard clause in the underlying decree.8 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. There is an attraction to the concept of holding parties to their agreements, no matter how ill-advised, no matter what changes later, and no matter the effects on third parties. In the context of child support, however - as in child custody - it is more appropriate for the result to be guided by the public policy goals of protecting those who have no part in making such agreements. The result in this case will do lots more good than harm, and was the right call. ALTERNATE PAYEE. Alternate Payee is defined as a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of a Participant who is recognized by this Order as having a right to receive a portion of the benefits payable under the Act with respect to such Participant. The parties were married in May 1930 and divorced in November 1945. The property settlement agreement obligated the husband to pay $750 per month for the life of the wife in return for her releasing all community property claims she might have against the husband. It was further agreed that one-third of each monthly payment was to be the portion payable for the support, maintenance, and education of the parties’ minor child. The agreement however, also stated that the payments for the child would not in any way affect the requirement of this decree for the payment to the wife during her life of the full amount of the monthly payment of $750 provided for by way of property settlement. The wife remarried in October 1956, and the daughter emancipated in December 1957. The husband then moved to enter satisfaction of judgment based upon the wife’s remarriage and the child’s emancipation, contending that the payments were alimony. The district court denied the husband's request. Any such argument is improper. The relocation of any party after filing of a motion to modify child support is entirely irrelevant to the jurisdiction of the court. No such argument should ever be made, or entertained. If the member is of a rank where "dream sheets" regarding preferred postings are available, they should be sought in discovery. If a member lists a jurisdiction as his primary (or only) preferred duty station, a good case could be made that the member's location there is not only "because of military assignment." Find out what his prior postings were, and whether (and how many times) he has returned to the forum after being stationed in some other place.
