Alaska Supreme Court

Gaylord E. Schaub, Appellant v. Theresa M. Schaub, Appellee

August 2, 20132013 Alas. LEXIS 96

Summary

The court held that the former wife could seek a post-decree division of marital property because the original divorce decree left property issues unresolved and her motion was not subject to the statute of limitations. The court further held that laches barred only benefits already received and spent before the relevant notice period, not a prospective division of marital retirement benefits. It vacated the effective date selected by the superior court and remanded for division beginning on the date of the evidentiary hearing.
