- W601236719 abstract "Congress created the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act to protect the economic security of former spouses of military personnel. One of the most significant property interests affording economic security to former spouses is the marital interest in retired pay to which both spouses contributed during the marriage. However, after the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Mansell v. Mansell, many State courts interpreted the USFSPA to operate to allow a military retiree who waives a portion of retired pay for disability pay to unilaterally deprive a former spouse of his or her interest in that property and thereby obtain the benefit of the property for him or herself. Courts that interpret the USFSPA as prohibitive of State court authority to remedy this inequity by characterizing the waived portion of retired pay as marital property subject to equitable consideration under state property distribution law facilitate this inequity by negating any remedial authority that Congress afforded under the Act. By authorizing State courts to treat disposable retired or retainer pay as any other marital property under state property distribution principles, Congress arguably intended that State courts would consider the waived portion of retired pay in distributing other marital property and remedy any resulting inequity by offsetting with other marital property the portion of retired pay that was waived for disability pay. The developments in federal policy regarding many other federal benefits, including Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits, support an interpretation of the USFSPA that allows for State courts to offset in this manner. Offsetting with other marital property in accordance with state property law promotes equity between the parties, ensures economic security for both parties, and does no damage to military personnel management or other federal objectives underlying the purpose of the USFSPA. Thus, Congress need not amend the USFSPA to authorize State courts to remedy this inequitable consequence of the federal military payment scheme. Instead, State courts need only to act under the authority that Congress has already afforded under the USFSPA by offsetting with other marital property that portion of retired pay that is waived for disability pay. In so doing, State courts will uniformly provide equity to military spouses and still adhere to the federal objectives underlying the USFSPA." @default.
