What Makes Military Divorce Different?

While military divorce is similar to a traditional divorce in many ways, there are some key differences you should be aware of if you are a service member or the spouse of one.

Some of the key differences between military divorce and civilian divorce include:

  • Where to file for divorce
  • How to serve divorce papers
  • Child custody and support
  • Spousal support
  • Pension division

An experienced military divorce attorney can help you understand these differences and the potential impact they may have on your case.

Where to File for Divorce

In order to file for divorce, you must meet certain residency requirements. In a traditional divorce, you typically file in the state where you and your spouse live. However, military families often move frequently, and establishing residency can be difficult. As a result, military families have more flexibility when it comes to filing for divorce.

There are three options for filing for divorce if you or your spouse is in the military:

  • The state where the military member is stationed
  • The state where the military member claims legal residency
  • The state where the non-military spouse resides

Keep in mind that if you file for divorce in a state where you do not meet the residency requirements, the court may be unable to grant your divorce. An attorney can help you understand the residency requirements and ensure that you file for divorce in the appropriate state.

Child Custody and Support

In all divorce cases, the court is required to make decisions regarding child custody and support. However, if one or both parents are on active military duty, these decisions can be more complicated. For example, a service member's deployment may impact the court's decision regarding child custody.

In some cases, the court may temporarily modify the custody order to allow the child to spend more time with the non-military parent while the service member is deployed. Additionally, the court may adjust the child support order to reflect the changes in the service member's income during deployment. A military divorce lawyer can help you understand how your military service may impact child custody and support.

How to Choose the Right Military Divorce Lawyer

There are many attorneys who handle military divorce cases, but not all of them are the same. Some attorneys may not have experience handling military divorce cases and may not be familiar with the unique challenges that military families face. If you are considering divorce, it is important to work with an attorney who is experienced in military divorce and can help you navigate the process.

When choosing a military divorce attorney, consider the following:

  • Their experience
  • Track record
  • Positive reviews
  • A good reputation
