Military Pay Division Law

Military Pay Division Family Law Lawyer

Military Pay Division Law:

During a military divorce, the Uniform Services Former Spouse's Protection Act (USFSPA) recognizes that military pay to a spouse or ex-spouse is required. Federal law states that the divorce process needs to be put on hold while the military member is on active service. A family lawyer can help get the process going once active service ends.

Military Pay Division Legal Issues:

When one spouse is in the military, divorce may be complicated as compared to a divorce for an average couple. Some of the complex issues that come up during military divorce and military pay division include:

  • Military retirement issues
  • Division of military pensions
  • Determining the division of military pay
  • Benefit plans
  • Military disability pay
  • How the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act (USFSPA) issues apply

What a Family Law Lawyer can do for you:

A family lawyer can help with jurisdiction, or which state the divorce can be filed, child support, child visitation and division of marital property during a military divorce and military pay division. A family lawyer can advise a divorced couple about child support payments since they can be complicated under military pay statements. A family lawyer can also guide you through the process of dividing marital property.
