Hiring An Experienced Military Divorce Lawyer
Legally speaking, military divorce is no different than a regular divorce – however, a military couple will face unique challenges when dissolving a marriage that a civilian couple would not have to endure. Our firm has been helping families grapple with the unique complexities of military family law for decades.
Aside from the typical military family law issues, including support modification and relocation issues, there are three compelling reasons to seek out the services of a lawyer who understands the nuances of a military divorce:
- Lawyers must be familiar with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), which insulates servicemen and women from most civil actions. Some of the laws governing soldiers and civil law date back to the Civil War.
- Lawyers must understand that military pensions aren't treated the same as civilian pension and retirement plans.
- Child support payments and enforcement of support orders for child support or alimony are handled in a different way when your ex-spouse is in the armed forces.
Do not let an attorney who is not familiar with the specific of military divorce handle your marriage dissolution. If you hire legal counsel who doesn't understand the aforementioned differences, you risk having the wrong assumptions, the wrong strategy, and the wrong facts for your divorce.
