While every divorce has the potential to be incredibly complex and drawn-out, military divorces are particularly stressful and complicated. Issues such as child custody, alimony, visitation, and distribution of retirement benefits inevitably become more intricate if one or both parents are in the military. If you or your spouse is overseas for a significant portion of the time, it is essential you don’t let another moment go by before you enlist in the help of a military divorce attorney such as ours at Haslett Law.

Key Considerations in Military Divorce Cases
Filing Location and Military Divorce Implications
Where you file for divorce is essential, as it will need to be in a state where either one of you lives. This may be important to you because each state handles the division of military pensions differently, which will unavoidably affect you in the long run.
Child Support Guidelines for Military Families
Child support is calculated according to Florida state law, and military members are expected to financially support their children just as anyone else is post-divorce.
Visitation Rights and Military Deployment
If either spouse is in the military, the military parent may be abroad for extended periods of time, making visitation quite infrequent even if both parents are married. In the aftermath of a divorce, visitation will be settled specifically to your particular situation.
Division of Military Pensions and Benefits
This is one of the foremost issues in a military divorce, as service members who retire after 20 years of active service receive retirement pension for the rest of their lives. A military spouse is entitled to their marital portion of those benefits. An attorney can help make sure that the marital portion of the retirement benefits is calculated correctly. This is a serious issue of concern for all involved, and the outcome truly depends on the specifics of one’s marriage, divorce, and overall case.

“Our lives would not be as blessed as they are today.”
JR went above and beyond to see our case through. Even after our family member botched up the initial deal that had been struck, he stepped in when he didn’t have to and re negotiated another opportunity. JR took a sincere interest in our family and were it not for his extra effort our lives would not be as blessed as they are today. He told us at the beginning that he would follow the case through to it end and that’s exactly what he did and then some.
