Being in the military is an honorable profession, but it’s also a difficult one. You have to be away from your family for months (sometimes years) at a time. This is challenging for the military servicemember, but also for the family of the servicemember. The military life is not always easy, and it can cause strain on a marriage.
In some cases, the military life can even lead to divorce. No matter what issues brought you and your spouse to the decision to end the marriage, the divorce process comes with issues as well. Getting a divorce is not fun for anyone, and it does come with several challenges.
If you’re in the military, there are even more challenges to the divorce process.
Divorce always comes with certain issues, because you are trying to separate what was a family. This means separating assets, wealth, property, and debt. This also means figuring out child custody issues, child support, and sometimes, spousal support.
In addition to these issues, military members undergo additional challenges because of the nature of military service. For example, you might want a divorce, but you haven’t lived in California long enough to get a divorce in the state. The law requires you to have lived in the state for at least six months before you can file for divorce.
Another issue is that many divorcing couples struggle with attending divorce proceedings because one of them is currently deployed, is about to be deployed, or is out of state for training or other job-related duties. This makes it difficult for that person to be present during the divorce process.
No matter what obstacles you’re facing because of your military service, a divorce lawyer at our firm can help. We understand the issues unique to military families, and we can help you get the situation resolved. If you are deployed, we could be able to get the divorce proceedings delayed until you’re able to attend the hearings.
Your attorney can represent your interests when you aren’t able to do so yourself. Additionally, they can advise you throughout the process, so you don’t have to deal with all of this on your own.
Dealing with the divorce process is never easy, but it’s especially challenging for military servicemembers and their families. You have rights, and you don’t deserve to be taken advantage of because you made the noble decision to serve your country.
It’s a good idea to have legal assistance with a divorce case, so that you can focus on getting your life put back together after a divorce.
