Description
YATES, Judge In April 1994, the trial court divorced the parties after a 12-year marriage, awarding to the wife custody of the parties' 2 minor children and making certain property divisions. On May 11, 1994, the trial court, ex mero motu, amended its judgment, finding ""that under the circumstances, retirement income of the [husband] will not be considered for division as a property settlement or for alimony since the [husband's] right to retirement has not yet vested and the [husband] has only the possibility of future retirement income since he has not yet retired."" The wife appeals, contending that the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to consider the husband's future military retirement for purposes of alimony and property division. The husband testified that he was in the United States Army and that he had been in the military for 18 years and 2 months. He also testified that he had less than two years remaining to serve before he would be eligible to retire and to receive military retirement benefits.
