Gloria Jean Reiss, Petitioner v. Edwin F. Reiss, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the 1980 divorce decree unambiguously granted Gloria Reiss fifty percent of Edwin Reiss's total retirement benefits, and therefore reversed the Court of Appeals' judgment that limited her interest to the community portion. The Court also affirmed that the decree was not void for lack of jurisdiction and could not be collaterally attacked.
