Understanding Military Divorce & Family Law
Military divorce and family law encompasses a range of legal issues that specifically impact the lives of service members and their families, including divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, and property division. This specialized area of law requires a deep understanding of both family law and the military’s regulations and benefits, including the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act (USFSPA) and the Service Members Civil Relief Act (SCRA).
Protecting Your Rights as a Service Member
For service members, the unique demands of military life can create additional challenges in the legal process.

It is important for service members to understand their rights and how they can be protected through the legal process.
