Divorce is a challenging legal experience for anyone, but for military families, the legal process can be even more complex. Military pensions, deployments and other factors add another layer of legal complexity to dividing assets and determining child custody.

At Trevillian Law, we are well-versed in both civilian and military divorce law. With over 85 years of combined experience providing compassionate and comprehensive legal representation to clients in Severn and throughout the Baltimore Metro area, we can effectively guide you through your divorce.

Similarities And Differences Between Civilian And Military Divorce

While there are many similarities between civilian and military divorce – such as property division, child custody and spousal support – there are also some key differences. In a military divorce, some of the major concerns include:

  • Division of military pensions and retirement accounts: Military pensions, deemed marital property, are subject to division in divorce proceedings according to the rules outlined in the Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act.
  • Deployment: The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) safeguards deployed service members by permitting them to postpone the divorce process if required.
  • Jurisdiction: In some cases, the state where the service member is stationed may have jurisdiction, even if the couple no longer resides there.

You can better understand the above legal options with the help of an experienced military divorce attorney.
