Abstract
In 1981, the Supreme Court rendered a decision prohibiting state courts from dividing, as marital property, military retirement pay upon divorce. in response to the overwhelming public outcry, Congress has enacted a law which effectively overturns the Supreme Court's ruling. This comment discusses the law prior to this opinion, the opinion itself, the controversy it provoked and finally, the law it initiated.
