Military Divorce

Military divorce is an increasingly common event in our times. With deployment overseas becoming more common, and marrying later in life, the divorced spouse of a service member can face difficult challenges in their lives.

Military families affected by divorce need to be able to access necessary information regarding the legal aspects of their situation so they can clients navigate this turbulent time as smoothly as possible.
