Gregory L. Pelts, Appellant v. Shelly A. Pelts, Appellee — Goodson, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part

Summary

Justice Goodson concurred in the decision to reverse and remand regarding the survivor-benefit election but dissented from reversing the circuit court's division of the military retirement benefits. She would have affirmed the finding that Gregory's vested military retirement entitlement was a marital asset subject to equal division, including later enhancements and benefits received under either retirement form. Justice Goodson, dissenting in part, would have affirmed the retirement-benefit division because the evidence showed one retirement entitlement based on total creditable service.
