Representing Military Personnel & Spouses
While military divorce encompasses a much more complex field of law, including unique facets of state and federal law, it deals with many of the same issues that are addressed in civilian cases of dissolution. Additionally, it is built on the same grounds—that a marriage is broken beyond repair, or that a spouse is mentally incapacitated.
Elements of the divorce case that remain unchanged for military families include:
- Requirements and grounds for divorce
- Discussion of child custody and visitation
- Equitable distribution of property and debt
- Qualifications for support
Still, there are some unique laws that apply in divorce cases involving service members and their families. Among these is the ability to request a "stay of proceedings," in which a person engaged in active military service can request a delay, or waive a delay, in the divorce process.
