Question presented
In a dissolution of marriage proceeding, may a court disregard military documentation showing that a veteran is receiving payments for disability, which are not subject to equitable distribution under the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act, 10 U.S.C. § 1408(a)(4)(A), and instead rely on expert testimony to conclude that the payments are a pension that may be divisible upon divorce?
