Renewing a motion in a California divorce case
Renewing a motion in a California divorce case is the topic
of this blog post. Renewing a motion in
California is authorized to the pursuant to the provisions of Code of Civil
Procedure section 1008(b) and has one very useful advantage compared to a motion
for reconsideration in that it is not subject to the 10 day statutory time
limitation imposed on motions for reconsideration. However there is a disadvantage in renewing
motion in that they can ONLY by brought by the party who filed the original
motion.
Code of Civil Procedure § 1008(b) states in pertinent part
that “A party who originally made an application for an order which was refused
in whole or part, or granted conditionally or on terms, may make a subsequent
application for the same order upon new or different facts, circumstances, or
law, in which case it shall be shown by affidavit what application was made
before, when and to what judge, what order or decisions were made, and what new
or different facts, circumstances, or law are claimed to be shown.”
A renewal of a motion may be filed in a divorce, legal
separation or nullity case in California under the provisions of Family Code §
210 which states that, “Except to the extent that any other statute or rules
adopted by the Judicial Council provide applicable rules, the rules of practice
and procedure applicable to civil actions generally, including the provisions
of Title 3a (commencing with Section 391) of Part 2 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, apply to, and constitute the rules of practice and procedure in,
proceedings under this code.”
Certain requirements must be met in order to successfully
renew a motion. The party renewing the motion must make a showing of new or
different facts, circumstances or law since the date of the original order that
the moving party was not aware of and could not have discovered with reasonable
diligence. Failure to comply with the statutory provisions may result in denial
of the renewed motion.
The California Courts of Appeal have stated in several
decisions that a ruling on a motion is not res judicata, and a trial court has
jurisdiction to consider a renewal of a previous motion.

A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) in California
A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) in California is
the topic of this blog post. A QDRO is a judgment or order that is made under
California law and that:
Relates to the provision of support or property rights to an
"alternate payee";
Creates, acknowledges, or assigns to an alternate payee a
right to receive benefits under the pension or retirement plan, and
Meets certain statutory requirements.
Laws were enacted by the United States Congress in 1984 that
made it easier for former spouses to receive a portion of the pension benefits
awarded to them. A QDRO is a court order, separate from a divorce decree,
instructing the Plan Administrator to distribute the share of a former spouse of
the retirement benefits to that former spouse. If a party has been awarded a
portion of their former spouse's pension or retirement benefits, it is very
important that a QDRO be prepared, and as quickly as possible due to the fact
that even if a party is awarded one-half of their former spouse's pension, and
he/she dies without a QDRO on file, they will be entitled to nothing.
The marital settlement agreement awards a party their
community half of the pension or 401(k) Plan and the participant cashes it out,
the employer is obligated to give it to him/her if there is no QDRO. If a QDRO
was not received by the Plan Administrator before the participant actually
retires, the other party loses options and may lose benefits!
Not every pension and 401K plan requires a QDRO. Parties
should contact both their and their spouse’s human resource department or retirement
plan administrator to determine if they need one. Most mid-size to large
companies are quite familiar with answering inquiries If so, the draft QDRO
must first be approved by the actual plan before it can be submitted to the
Court for approval. This process may proceed quickly or may be delayed for
several months depending on the company. After the company approves the QDRO
both spouses will need to sign it and it will then be submitted to the Court
for the Judge's signature. The order is then sent to the retirement plan
administrator for implementation.

Domestic Relations Order sold by the author can use the link shown below.
