Temporary Spousal SupportScenario eight shifts the reduced premium the other way, to the member, for the same reasons, and to the same effect, as set out in scenario four, but with smaller totals, since the spousal survivorship interest has been reduced.3 In Schwartz v. Schwartz, 126 Nev. ___, ___ P.3d ___ (Adv. Opn. No. 8, Mar. 4, 2010), the Nevada Supreme Court determined that when a potential alimony obligor is old, rich, and sick, courts must explicitly determine whether lump sum alimony is appropriate. Id. at 576-577. The Court concluded that the district court’s finding that a change of circumstances had occurred was not supported by any statement indicating what that change of circumstances there was. Further, there was no refutation of the findings that no sexual abuse had occurred. The Court also held that it was error for the district court to reject the referee’s findings without conducting a proper evidentiary hearing concerning the fact or facts in issue. The Court further held that where the district court reviewed the case file and found nothing troublesome in the referee’s factual findings, an evidentiary hearing should not be necessary. Id. at 577. The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court noted that NRS 125.510(2) described when a joint custody arrangement may be revisited and modified by the court. The Court also noted that Murphy v. Murphy, 84 Nev. 710, 447 P.2d 664 (1968) only described when a modification to a primary custody agreement is warranted. The Court further noted that district courts were vested with broad discretion concerning child custody matters citing to NRS 125.510 and Rooney v. Rooney, 109 Nev. 540, 853 P.2d 123 (1993). SUP> When a spouse owns a business or an asset at the time of marriage and thereafter devotes his labor and skills to that business, that principle conflicts with the statutory mandate that the rents, issues, and profits of separate property remain separate property. Courts have consistently held that in such a situation, the community should receive a fair share of the profits which derive from the owner-spouse’s devotion of more than minimal time and effort to the handling of the separate property business.9 In another example, however, the court in Ewing v. Ewing, 21 Va. App. 34, 461 S.E.2d 417 (1995), was called upon to interpret the Virginia guidelines, which provide that a parent has "shared custody" where a parent has custody of the child for at least 110 "days" of the year. In that case, the court determined that "day" should be defined not as overnight visitation, but as any continuous 24-hour period. Accord In re Marriage of Hansen, 81 Wash. App. 494, 914 P.2d 799 (1996) (any period totaling twenty-four continuous hours is "custody", not common-law definition of day, which is midnight to midnight). Ewing and Hansen decisions are flawed, because under the definition of "day" adopted by these courts, it is possible that a non-custodial parent, exercising extensive visitation up to 180 overnights a year, and thus incurring equal cost in child-rearing to the custodial parent, would never have even one full "day" of visitation, leaving the parties with the anomalous and ridiculous result that there are no days in a year. Because the Virginia Child Support Guidelines make an adjustment for shared custody when a parent has 110 "days" of visitation, the Virginia Child Support Guidelines were rendered meaningless as the result of the Ewing decision. Indeed, anecdotal evidence from attorneys in Culpepper County, Virginia, have shown that one judge consistently orders visitation in a way in which neither parent ever has "custody" under the Ewing definition. See Brown v. Brown, VLW 096-8-172 (Va. Cir. Cl. 1996) (by using Ewing definition of day, father was able to eliminate his child support obligation). A proceeding seeking the return of a child from one signatory country to another is governed by the "The Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, done at the Hague on 25 Oct. 1980" [commonly referred to as "the Hague Convention"], and its implementing legislation, the International Child Abduction Remedies Act ("ICARA"), 42 U.S.C. §§ 11601-11610. The United States of America has been a Contracting State under the Convention since July 1, 1988. Scenario eight shifts the reduced premium the other way, to the member, for the same reasons, and to the same effect, as set out in scenario four, but with smaller totals, since the spousal survivorship interest has been reduced.3 After 25 year marriage in which wife was traditional homemaker for 20 years and had a high school education, parties divorced. The husband and his counsel represented that proposed property division was "essentially equal" distribution of assets; the wife was unable to verify value of the pension during divorce pendency, and relied on husband’s attorney’s representation. After divorce (within 6 months), the wife learned she had received about 29 percent of total asset value and moved to set aside property distribution under NRCP 60(b). The referee recommended setting aside; husband objected. The district court sustained objection and vacated the referee’s findings and recommendations. c) If the parents have split custody but no current written parenting time agreement or court order providing for parenting time, each parent will be attributed 365 days for the minor child(ren) in the parents physical custody. There were three children. Custody of the two daughters was awarded to the mother while custody of the son was awarded to the father. The decree ratified and incorporated by reference a property settlement agreement that required the father to pay child support. In June 1981, custody of the daughters was changed to the father. In February 1982, the mother moved to change the custody of all three children to her and reinstate the terms of support as provided in the original property settlement agreement. The district court agreed that provisions of the property settlement agreement were still in force. The father appealed and the appeal was dismissed. In June 1983, the father moved to modify the decree of divorce on the basis of changed circumstances. The district court denied the request for modification. The court also ordered the father to pay the mother’s attorney’s fees of $2,500, $2,000 of which was for defending the prior appeal. The father appealed only from that portion of the order which awarded attorney’s fees for the prior appeal. Washington X From a retirement benefits point of view, the death of one party or the other is merely another "value-altering possibility" to be anticipated and structured into the disposition of the retirement benefits upon divorce. SUP> The essential inquiry made in a Hague proceeding therefore splits into three questions: Where was the child’s habitual residence? Did the parent who had the child in the other contracting state have a right of custody under the law of the State of the children’s habitual residence, which was actually being exercised (or would have been but for the removal or retention)? If so, did the removing or retaining parent’s actions violate those rights? The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court stated the mother did not "impliedly acquiesce in the reduction in support by waiting several years to file a claim," in distinguishing why the father could not use an equitable offset, the Court also advised that there was no express agreement, written or oral, that custody could be changed and the payments reduced. Id. at 662. This implies that if the mother had acquiesced for a period of time or there had been an agreement, the father may have had a viable defense. The case was cited approvingly in Parkinson v. Parkinson, 106 Nev. 481, 796 P.2d 229 (1990). The Court also found the compulsion of circumstances where one parent abandoned the child as a reason for not paying support to be inapplicable. The Air Force "expects" that its members will support their families, and will recoup BAH4 payments if it concludes that the member is receiving the "with-dependent" rate but not supporting dependents, but basically pushes the matter to the civilian courts.5 The Marine Corps is more specific, requiring its members to provide the greater of a specific sum per dependent or a specified percentage of the BAH and certain other benefits.6 The Navy has its own chart of percentages,7 as does the Coast Guard.8 The Army has an extensive, complex regulation governing the support of dependents in the absence of agreement or a court order.9 SUP> The history of the evolution of "marriage" as an institution is beyond the scope of this work, but in broad strokes it may be said that even ancient societies needed a secure environment for the perpetuation of the species, a system of rules to handle the granting of property rights, and the protection of bloodlines. 65279;The Supreme Court rejected the "origin of domicile" test of conflicts of laws for paternity actions, and affirmed its adoption ofthe "substantial relationship" test, under which the state whose law is applied must have a substantial relationship with the transaction and the transaction must not violate a strong public policy of Nevada. The Court found that California's only relationship was the parties' presence there for three years and the birth of the child there, noting that neither party had lived in California for ten years. The Court noted in passing that the California legislature had recently repealed section 621 in favor of a presumption, like that of Nevada law, that is rebuttable. The mother sought to relocate three children with her new husband to Japan. The district court denied the move. The Court noted that it appeared that there was no adequate alternative visitation for the non-custodial parent. The Court held that the relocation, whereit significantly impaired the other parent’s ability to exercise the responsibilities he had been exercising, constituted substantially changed circumstances which justified a reexamination of custody based upon the best interest of the children, taking into account all relevant factors including the effects of relocation. A conditional order changing custody if the mother moved, should be made only if the court affirmatively determines that the best interests of the children are served by changing custody, taking into consideration all factors, not just the move. The Court held that even if a relocating parent was moving for illegitimate reasons or to an unreasonable location, that parent should retain primary custody and be allowed to relocate with the child if he or she shows that the relocation would be better for the child if he or she shows that the relocation would be better for the child than a transfer of primary custody to the other parent. We conclude that the district court abused its discretion when it determined, without making specific findings of fact, that the parties had joint physical custody and when it modified the custody arrangement set forth in the divorce decree. We therefore reverse and remand this matter to the district court for further proceedings, including a new custody determination pursuant to the definition of joint physical custody clarified in this opinion. B> The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) was founded in 1962 by highly regarded domestic relations attorneys "to encourage the study, improve the practice, elevate the standards and advance the cause of matrimonial law, to the end that the welfare of the family and society be protected." There are some 1600 AAML Fellows in 50 states. SPAN> Regarding a related question, a spouse can generally receive a share of any early retirement taken by a member under the Variable Separation Incentive (VSI) or Special Separation Benefit (SSB) or the early (15-19 year) retirement program known as the "Temporary Early Retirement Authority" (TERA).21 The first two programs were offered to members in "selected job specialties" who had accrued between six and twenty years of service. Some were required to serve in Reserve units, as well, after leaving active duty. The early retirement option for members with more than 15 but fewer than 20 years of service is similar to "regular" military retirement, except that the sum paid contains an actuarial penalty. All three of these programs have been repeatedly re-authorized by Congress, although they were supposed to expire after the military "draw-down" of the 1990s. Since all parties agree that Mother was a Nevada resident at all relevant times, Father’s Answer resulted in both parents submitting to the personal jurisdiction of the district court. This, presumably, gave the district court jurisdiction over all issues of property division, wherever situated.2 Former spouse coverage was not possible before 1983, and has evolved considerably over the years, as it was made no more expensive than current spouse coverage, and then stipulations to provide such coverage were made enforceable. The Supreme Court reversed. The Court noted that in matters of custody, including visitation, rest in the district court’s sound discretion citing to Wallace v. Wallace, 112 Nev. 1015, 1019, 922 P.2d 541, 543 (1996). The Court further noted that it would not change a district court’s custody determination absent a clear abuse of discretion citing to Sims v. Sims, 109 Nev. 1146, 1148, 865 P.2d 328, 330 (1993). The Court recited the Murphy standard. The Court held that remarriage alone did not establish changed circumstances and that the district court erred in finding changed circumstances on that basis. The Court further held that although a custodial parent’s substantial or pervasive interference with a noncustodial parent’s visitation could give rise to changed circumstances justifying a change in custody, the record in this case did not support a determination that the mother substantially or pervasively interfered with visitation and the district court abused its discretion when it found changed circumstances based upon the mother’s alleged interference with visitation. But the converse is not true. Nevada courts have personal jurisdiction over Nevada residents, and when such a resident’s filings give rise to a legitimate claim for fees in favor of the out-of-State party, such fees may be awarded. The Court, when discussing the application of the Pereira and Van Camp methods of apportionment, advised that the law of Nevada was that the rents and profits from a spouse’s separate property are separate property and the earnings of either spouse during marriage are community. Id. at 25-26. 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. bsp; 2. The courts are empowered, but not required, to trace back to a separate property source contributions to property held in joint tenancy that came from a separate property source, and order reimbursement to the contributing spouse. a. Enforceable orders would be immediately available. This will ameliorate a host of current problems, from police enforcement to school registration.
