In re Marriage of Winters

Petitioner appealed from a circuit court order modifying the judgment of dissolution and denying a petition for rule to show cause. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the initial judgment of dissolution improperly included a “VA waiver” that was in conflict with federal law which preempted the state court from distributing the respondent’s VA disability benefits in the manner that it did and the trial court did not err when it struck that paragraph from the initial judgment. (BOIE and HACKETT, concurring)
