What Makes A Military Family Law Case Different
Military family law differs from typical cases due to unique challenges. Child custody arrangements often need to accommodate military schedules, while lengthy deployments can strain a marriage and lead to separation or divorce. Frequent relocations mean a parent might move every year or two, necessitating adjustments to custody agreements and other legal matters. Military divorce also involves the division of military pensions and may require modifications to custody to accommodate deployment. Finally, court proceedings may need to be paused during deployment to ensure fairness.
Not every family law firm is equipped to handle a military divorce. We are. Our attorneys are highly familiar with the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act (USFSPA) and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). We know how to effectively enforce your rights under these laws, ensuring that you receive the protection and fair treatment you deserve during your family law proceedings.
