What Is the Difference Between a Military Divorce & a Civilian Divorce?
Military divorces involve additional considerations that distinguish them from civilian divorces. One significant factor is the division of military pensions and benefits. The Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act (USFSPA) governs the distribution of military retirement benefits in divorces, allowing for a portion to be awarded to the non-military spouse. Our team deeply understands USFSPA and can ensure you receive a fair and equitable share of the military benefits.
Another unique aspect is the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), which provides certain legal protections for active-duty military personnel. This includes postponing legal proceedings, such as divorce, during periods of active duty. Navigating through these protections requires a knowledgeable and experienced legal team, and the Law Office of Greg Quimby, P.C. is here to guide you through these intricacies.
