Military divorce involves unique legal issues not present in civilian divorce cases. Our team of lawyers has extensive experience handling military divorce cases and is well-versed in the legal complexities of military divorce. We are dedicated to helping our clients navigate the legal process as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
Military Benefits
Know your rights when it comes to military benefits. Whether you are a service member or a military spouse, having an experienced guide to help you through the process can ensure you get what you are entitled to.
State Jurisdiction
Understand where to file and when. While federal military divorce laws allow somebody to file in the state where they are stationed or where the nonmilitary spouse currently lives, each state has its own rules determining when and how to file. Without the help of experienced divorce lawyers, choosing where to file your divorce can get complicated and lead to lengthy delays.
Retirement
Civilian retirement account divisions are typically completed through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. However, this may not be acceptable with a military pension. Instead, military benefits depend on the length of the marriage, military service, and the overlapping years between the two.

Child and Spousal Support
Determining alimony and childcare can be difficult in typical circumstances, but it’s even more complex in military divorces. The courts will consider military service for spousal maintenance and childcare, making it vital to have a military divorce attorney to help you navigate the system.
Professional Resources
A couple’s retirement can often be one of the largest assets to be divided upon divorce. Ensuring that the proper valuation is achieved as well as the proper strategy on drafting the actual award are crucial to ensure a party is taken care of upon retirement.
Retirement and Pension
A military divorce requires someone knowledgeable about the federal provisions affecting service members. Our team provides you with resources and experience to ensure you get the guidance and support you need to navigate your military divorce with your dignity and future intact.
