A military divorce carries all the difficulties of an ordinary divorce, with the added stresses that may be involved with couples who are physically separated and a military partner who may be in active combat. It is critical that if you are facing a military divorce, that you hire a lawyer with experience.
State family law rules will still apply, but special rules enacted by the federal government cover certain situations in military divorces. Military personnel who are on active duty can request that a pending divorce action be held until as long as 60 days after the end of active duty. In some cases you may not be penalized for missing court deadlines while you are on active duty, but you will need a lawyer to request a delay if you need one.
An experienced attorney can also help you decide if it is in your best interest to delay the divorce proceeding, considering your circumstances and the effect that waiting may have on the division of pension benefits. A military divorce may also have more options about what state to file in, which could affect your rights concerning property division.
When children are involved, there may be creative family law options with regard to visitation that will allow your children to spend time with grandparents or other family members you are on duty and cannot exercise visitation rights yourself. There are also special rules about when and how a military pension is divided in a divorce. Be sure you have a lawyer who can look for all these issues and handle them with your best interests in mind.
