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...

grandchildren under certain circumstances. The Alabama Supreme Court declared parts of Alabama's
existing grandparent visitation law unconstitutional. This bill would repeal the existing
grandparent visitation law and replace it with a new grandparent visitation law that requires
the petitioning grandparent to prove, by clear and convincing evidence, that the grandparent
has an existing relationship with the grandchild and visitation is in the best interest of
the child. This bill would specify the factors that establish a significant and viable relationship
for the purposes of establishing clear and convincing evidence. This bill would also establish
the criteria and procedures for filing a petition. A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT Relating to
grandparent visitation; to establish procedures by which certain...
