Oshiro v. Oshiro (family)

Summary

The court held that Nevada law permits a court determining alimony to consider the existence and value of a veteran's military disability benefits, even though the court may not directly attach, assign, or divide those benefits. The court also held that the statutory provision requiring a compelling reason applies to community-property division, not alimony, and affirmed the $2,000 monthly award because the district court acted within its discretion and relied on substantial evidence. The court reserved whether an alimony award payable only from military disability benefits would violate the statute.
