Requests study on dividing retirement benefits of former spouses in community property division.
Requests the Louisiana State Law Institute to study and recommend legislation on dividing retirement benefits of former spouses in community property division. The study focuses on the Sims Formula, which determines the proportion of retirement benefits attributable to employment during the marriage. The Louisiana Supreme Court established this formula in Sims v. Sims, recognizing a divorced spouse's interest in the pension rights of the former spouse. The resolution urges the Institute to submit reports to the legislative library.
