Marriage of Gray
Over the course of his career with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), some 15 years of which included his marriage to Mary Ann Gray (Caverly), James W. Gray has earned the right to receive a pension upon retirement through a defined benefit plan. James and Mary Ann were married in 1963 and they separated in 1979. Their interlocutory judgment of dissolution of marriage was filed in 1980. As to Jamess pension, the judgment stated that the court would reserve jurisdiction over it until benefits would become due and payable, and then, the Brown Formula shall be applied.[2] (Italics added.)
The order providing for apportionment of Jamess defined benefit pension per the time rule is reversed.
