Marriage of Schmitt
In a 1975 marital dissolution judgment, the court ordered the government pension benefits of Arthur F. Schmitt, Jr., be divided with his former wife, Mildred McCarty, and, by a 1978 modification of that judgment, directed that McCarty receive approximately 41 percent of the gross pension when Schmitt retired. Schmitt was also ordered to provide an annual verification to McCarty of the total pension amounts received by Schmitt during the prior year. Schmitt subsequently directed the government to pay directly to McCarty $626 per month as her court-ordered share of the pension, and in 1984 those payments increased to $798 per month.Schmitt appeals the findings that McCarty's claims were not time barred or, in the alternative, were not based on an expired judgment. McCarty appeals, asserting the court erred by applying laches to reduce her claim.
The order is affirmed.
