Ast v. Ast
Jan 01, 2015OUTCOME: Won case for ex wife.
HOLDINGS: [1]-Where the parties had stipulated that the former wife would receive a 49 percent of the former husband's military retirement, and he later converted his retirement pay to military disabil ... ity benefits, the trial court had subject matter jurisdiction to order him to pay the wife one-half of his disability benefits based on his personal appearance and the judgment signed by his attorney, and the order was proper since the divorce judgment provided that if his military retirement benefits were converted to military disability benefits, the wife would receive one-half of them; [2]-His request to modify the divorce judgment to reflect the true intent of the parties was properly denied, as the judgment was final under La. Code Civ. Proc. Ann. art. 1841 since it settled all issues in dispute and the requested change was one of substance rather than a correction of phraseology.
