James F. Clauson v. Dorothy F. Clauson

BURKE, Justice. James Clauson appeals a superior court order requiring him to pay his former wife, Dorothy Clauson (now Dorothy Crabtree),
$168 per month to replace her share of his waived military retirement pay. Four years after the parties stipulated to a marital
property settlement in which Dorothy was awarded a portion of James' military pension, James elected to waive his military
pension in order to collect veterans disability benefits. The waiver resulted in Dorothy's payments ceasing and led her to
seek a modification of the divorce judgment.
