167581-1:n:04/15/2015:JET/th LRS2015-1571 HB507 By Representative Jones RFD Judiciary Rd 1
16-APR-15 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, in an action for divorce, the court may make an award
of alimony, including interim alimony, for the support of either spouse out of the estate
of the other spouse. This bill would provide for an award of interim alimony in an action
for divorce, legal separation, or annulment filed after January 1, 2016, if the spouse maintains
the validity of the marriage, the spouse needs interim alimony, and the other spouse has ability
to pay interim alimony. This bill would authorize a judge, out of the marital property or
current income, to award reasonable interim fees, costs, and litigation expenses, including
discovery, expert witnesses, guardians ad litem, special masters, and attorney fees, to enable
each party to have equitable access to the marital property to pursue or defend an action
for divorce, legal separation, annulment, or appeal. This bill would also...

166222-1:n:03/30/2015:JMH/th LRS2015-784 HB371 By Representative Jones RFD Judiciary Rd 1 31-MAR-15
SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, a court may order an allowance up to 50 percent of the present
or future value of retirement benefits of a person to his or her spouse upon divorce if the
parties have been married for at least 10 years and if certain other conditions are met. Under
existing law, when the court orders an allowance of retirement benefits of one spouse to another
upon divorce, no amount is payable until the covered spouse begins to receive benefits unless
the parties agree to a lump sum settlement. This bill would eliminate the requirement that
the parties have been married for 10 years before the court may award retirement benefits.
This bill would allow the court to use any equitable method of valuing, dividing, or distributing
to benefits, but the noncovered spouse could receive no more than 50 percent of the benefits
considered by the court. This bill would provide that...
