6 Cards On This Topic:
When c/p used to purchase premarital s/p service credits for CalPERS pension, c/p is entitled to reimbursement, plus interest; the additional service credits purchased are s/p.
Since c/p funds redeposited to reaqcquire s/p service credits contributed only to annuity part of retirement allowance, community entitled to pro tanto share of annuity–not of the much larger pension component funded by employer contribs.
The method selected for apportionment of a retirement benefit must be reasonable and fairly representative of the relative contributions of the community and separate estates.
Court retained jurisdiction to divide combined pension into c/p portion attributable to marriage and after-earned s/p portion.
Right to redeposit contributions withdrawn from pension to get increased benefits is a c/p right.
Right to reinstate a federal pension not c/p.
