Things to Consider as a Member of the Armed Forces
Members of the armed forces and their spouses know that, as enlisted individuals, military members often face unique challenges. It frequently comes as a surprise to learn, though, that military members and their families can face unique challenges during divorce proceedings. For instance:
- Unique rules and laws govern the division of military pensions during divorce
- Residency and jurisdiction requirements can be challenging
- Court orders regarding child support can differ for military members
- Serving notice against a deployed military member can be highly challenging
- Service members are protected against all civil actions, including divorce proceedings, for an initial period of 90 days, with the possibility of an extension
