Litigation Considerations

This book addresses various issues that a family law practitioner is bound to experience in litigation involving a federal employee, retiree or spouse.

For example, the survivor annuity as marital property and allocation of cost of the survivor annuity, obtaining a present value of a pension, garnishment of federal government pensions and TSP accounts, and tracing the non-marital share of the TSP.

In addition, the book explains in detail how to determine income using the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) salary scales, grades and steps. The book covers the different types of compensation, as well as how to read a government pay stub.

This book also touches on resources for domestic violence victims and security clearances.
