UP> The Office of Personnel Management ("OPM") Handbook for Attorneys includes a model paragraph entitled "Protecting a former spouse entitled to military retired pay" (paragraph 111). It reads: Second, astoundingly, both sides have failed to be sufficiently specific in their factual recitals to say whether the assertion makes any difference. Specifically, Mother claims that Father told Mother that he would not return the children in August, 2004,3 but does not specify whether this was more than six months, or less than six months, before she commenced child custody proceedings.4 Father does not seem to clearly address the issue.

The trial court was directed to consider as "personal" the skill, personality, work ethic, reputation, and relationships developed by Dr. Gaskill, which were to be hers alone because such things cannot be sold to a subsequent practitioner. The court found that any consideration of these factors in a case where alimony was at issue also created a risk of "double dipping," because the same qualities were involved in setting such support. This is the classic divorce scenario - whether divorce occurs before or after retirement, it is usually expected that both parties will continue to live until after the member retires from active duty. The state high court concluded that the result reached by the trial court was "fair and equitable and within its authority." The court went on to approve prior holdings stating that whenever a retiree has a choice of electing retirement or disability benefits, and chooses the latter, for whatever reason, he "could not by electing to take a disability award rather than a regular retirement eliminate the community interest in the award."2 The Supreme Court reversed. The mother had a duty, in seeking to impose a child support obligation, to disclose to the father and the court that he might not be the father. The Court held that which keeps one party away from the court by conduct which prevents a real trial upon the issues is extrinsic fraud and may form a sufficient basis for equitable relief from the judgment. Here, the mother’s omission prevented the father from having a fair opportunity to litigate paternity. The decree was open to attack by an independent action in equity on the grounds of fraud. The Court reversed entry of judgment for child support arrears. The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court held the fact that the wife was named as the grantee in the deed was insufficient to show a gift from the husband to her. The Court further held that the true test of the separate or community character of property acquired during the marriage ordinarily lies in whether it was acquired by community funds and community credit or by separate funds and that the opinion of either spouse as to whether property is separate or community was of no weight citing to Barrett v. Franke, 46 Nev.170, 180, 208 P. 435, 438 (1922). The law creates an issue like the McCarty-gap cases or the (prior law) Civil Service dual-compensation laws - the legal dispute affects fewer and fewer people over time, to a lesser and lesser degree, which will eventually (presuming it is expanded to cover the 10% to 50% disability cases) render the entire above body of case law to fodder for footnotes or to be raised only for analogy to other, current disputes. The 40-percent joint physical custody test the majority adopts today, when tied, as intended, to eligibility for a child support offset under Wright v. Osburn, 114 Nev. 1367, 970 P.2d 1071 (1998), creates law indistinguishable from that Barbagallo says courts should abjure.[2] As a near-contemporaneous judicial interpretation of a controlling statutory scheme; Barbagallo should control. See Neal v. United States, 516 U.S. 284, 294-95 (1996) (giving "great weight to stare decisis in the area of statutory construction" because the legislature "is free to change this Court's interpretation of its legislation"; the Legislature, not the courts, "has the responsibility for revising its statutes"; and "[w]ere we to alter our statutory interpretations from case to case, [the Legislature] would have less reason to exercise its responsibility to correct statutes that are thought to be unwise or unfair") (internal quotation omitted). In practice, the rule has been problematic. Some judges, outraged that their impartiality could or would be questioned by anyone, took retribution on lawyers seeking peremptory challenges. One such conflict caused a virtual civil war in the Nevada judiciary, inflicting wounds all around that still linger, and causing the Legislature to amend the State Constitution to remove from the Supreme Court the power to control judicial discipline proceedings. See Mosley v. Comm’n on Judicial Discipline, 117 Nev. 371, 22 P.3d 655 (2001) (recounting the tragic history of the four separate, drawn-out, and acrimonious cases entitled Whitehead v. Commission on Judicial Discipline I-IV). These cases collectively stand for the proposition that actual division of the retired pay at divorce was limited to disposable pay, with any shortfall to the spouse to be compensated by other means. Once an award was made, however, in post-decree enforcement, the spouse could be compensated for any action taken by the member that lowered sums payable to the spouse. Again, if the spouse dies first, the member gets the full gross military retirement benefits, but if the member dies first, the spouse continues to get only her share of the benefits. Note that under 10 U.S.C. § 1408(e)(1), it is not permissible to pay the former spouse more than 50% of the monthly lifetime military retired pay. Thus, if it is intended that the former spouse receive more than about 46 percent, and that the member is to pay the SBP premium, some mechanism other than the shifting set forth above will be needed to effect that end. The wife was awarded temporary support. The statute provided that in any suit for divorce the court "may, in its discretion, . . . require the husband to pay such sums as may be necessary . . . for the wife’s support . . . during the pendency of such suit" citing to NRS 125.040. The husband contended that under the statute an allowance for temporary alimony was based on the necessity of the wife, and that the evidence showed that the wife did not have necessitous circumstances. The wife contended that the law did not require her to finance her divorce case from her own separate funds while the husband paid for his litigation out of the joint or community properties of the parties. The Court held that the statute did not limit awards for temporary alimony to those cases where the wife was destitute or practically so. The Court held that the statute contemplated such awards when, the facts, circumstances, and situation of the parties, are such that in fairness to the wife she should be given financial assistance for her support during the pendency of the action. The Court concluded that temporary alimony should not be denied because the wife possessed a separate estate where the income therefrom was not sufficient for her support, and she need not resort to the body of her estate before calling on that of her husband. The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court held that: (l) without such a specific Nevada statutory provision, the agreement between the birth mother and the adoptive parents is unenforceable, (2) Nevada law makes it clear that an adoption decree terminates all rights of the natural parent and confers such rights upon the adoptive parents, (3) while an agreement may grant a natural parent rights to post adoption contact, enforcing it would be inconsistent with the Legislature's mandate that a natural parent may not exercise any right to the adopted child not incorporated in the adoption decree, (4) if the agreement is not incorporated in the adoption decree, their rights as to the child are terminated upon adoption and any contact with the child may be had only upon the adoptive parents' permission, regardless of the agreement. Id. at 976-77. 65279;The husband filed a motion requesting that the child be named his "defacto child"; the wife opposed and requested blood tests. A referee heard the motion and recommended an order that the case be found "similar to Frye v. Frye, 103 Nev. 301,738 P.2d 505 (1987) based on the conduct of the parties," and that the husband "should be declared the real father." The district court sustained the wife's objection and ordered blood tests, which conclusively proved the husband's non-paternity. On return to the court, however, the district court found that the wife had failed to rebut a conclusive presumption of California Evidence Code section 621, and further ruled that the wife was equitably estopped from denying the husband's paternity. The public-policy disconnect is even more visible where the SCRA meets matters of child custody. Matters involving active-duty military personnel and custody proceedings are inherently problematic. On June 26, 1981, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in McCarty v. McCarty,2 holding that federal law preempted a state court from dividing military retired pay, and that federal law identified retired pay as a personal entitlement of the retiree, to which the retiree’s former spouse had no claim. That decision put in motion a series of changes in the law greatly altering the rights and obligations of military members and their spouses, which continue to this day. The parties were married for 14 years. At the time of their marriage, the parties were attending college. In 1983, the wife obtained a degree in design and the husband obtained a degree in business and finance. After graduating, the wife worked while the husband obtained his Master’s degree in business administration. The wife became a full-time homemaker after the birth of their first child. The husband’s income was $5,177 per month and the wife’s income was $1,600 per month. The district court denied the wife’s request for attorney’s fees. The qualifications for admission are sufficiently exacting that when the Board of Governors of the State Bar of Nevada approved Standards for Certification of Family Law Specialists in February, 2005, it recognized the existing Nevada Fellows of the AAML as certified specialists. This created a group able to draft standards and create a specialist certification test for other family law practitioners in Nevada. 65279;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. The parties had a child out of wedlock. The father was paying support of $150 per month. In April 1991, the mother requested an increase. The father conceded custody, but contested the increase in support. The domestic relations referee recommended increasing the child support obligation to $242 per month. In support of this recommendation, the referee made only one finding of fact, that the surplus of the father’s total net income over his expenses was $92. The district court affirmed without making any additional findings of fact. 2) Any property placed in joint tenancy by the parties on or after July 1, 1979, as appears just and equitable, having regard to the respective merits of the parties and to the condition in which they will be left by the divorce, and to the party through whom the property was acquired, and to the burdens, if any, imposed upon it, for the benefit of the children. Under the qualitativeapproach to the time rule embraced by this and most other time rule states, the member would receive half of this sum himself ¨C $1,003.55. Each of his former spouses, having been married to him for exactly half the time the pension accrued, would receive half of thatsum ¨C $501.78.
