FINDINGS OF FACT
We incorporate our findings in Rinehart I and Rinehart II
herein by this reference.
Marriage, Divorce, and Annulment
In 1992, Ms. Yeager married William Z. Williams in the State
of Washington. Sometime thereafter, Mr. Williams filed for
divorce. In August 1994, the Superior Court of Washington issued
a Decree of Dissolution dissolving Ms. Yeager and Mr. Williams’
marriage (Decree of Dissolution). The court decreed that Ms.
Yeager’s name was changed to “Jeana Lee Yeager”. Ms. Yeager did
not contest the divorce.
In October 1994, petitioners married in Texas. Ms. Yeager
received a copy of the Decree of Dissolution before she married
Mr. Rinehart.
Shortly after his marriage to Ms. Yeager, Mr. Rinehart filed
a Life Event Change Form with his employer, American Airlines, to
notify it of his marriage to Ms. Yeager. Mr. Rinehart filed this
form so that Ms. Yeager would be afforded spousal benefits from
American Airlines. In November 1994, Mr. Rinehart filed forms
with American Airlines designating Ms. Yeager the beneficiary of
his retirement benefits program.
