If you don't yet know, military divorce is different from civilian divorce. Unique issues concerning the division of military pensions and entitlement benefits like BAH, BAS, COLA, commissary privileges, and disability benefits must be constantly considered throughout the divorce process or important benefits could be lost. Most civilian family law attorneys only occasionally see these issues, but in our military centric firm, we deal with them every day!
Military child custody, child support, and visitation cases are also vastly different from civilian cases. The (UCMJ) requires military members to pay “adequate support” to their dependents (spouse and children) and therefore adverse action can be taken against a member for failing to pay child support during a military divorce proceeding.
