Acosta v. Acosta
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 1, 1983 · Baskin, Pearson, Schwartz
425 So. 2d 667; 1983 Fla. App. LEXIS 27724 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Acosta v. Acosta

Opinion of the Court

SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.

By virtue both of the controlling- and unanimous cases, e.g., Erspan v. Badgett, 659 F.2d 26 (5th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 945, 102 S.Ct. 1443, 71 L.Ed.2d 658 (1982) and a subsequently enacted statute, the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act, 10 U.S.C. 1408(c)(1) (1982), the Supreme Court decision in McCarty v. McCarty, 453 U.S. 210, 101 S.Ct. 2728, 69 L.Ed.2d 589 (1981) may not be retroactively applied. We therefore reject the appellant’s primary contention. His other points merit neither reversal nor discussion.

Affirmed.
