Understanding the Complexities of Military Divorce

Service members and military spouses face distinct legal considerations that don't apply to civilian divorces. The intersection of state family law and federal military regulations creates additional layers of complexity. You'll benefit from working with attorneys who understand:

• Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) division procedures
• Former spouse protection for TRICARE benefits
• Combat-related special compensation issues
• Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) elections
• VA disability compensation treatment in divorce
