Military Divorce

Unlike a civilian divorce, both state and federal laws affect the divorce of a military couple. Federal laws may affect the jurisdiction of the divorce, or how military pensions are divided. State laws generally control how alimony and spousal support is determined. Military divorces face many of the same issues as civilian divorces, but there are special rules and requirements that apply to service personnel and their spouses when they get divorced. These include residency and filing requirements, child custody and support, and the division of property, especially military pensions.

Typically, military divorce includes the following areas of family law:

• Spousal and Child Support
• Court-order
• Garnishment
• Voluntary or Involuntary Allotment
• Medical benefits and commissary and exchange privileges
• Fault versus No Fault Divorce
