Military Divorce

What Kind of Attorney Should Handle My Virginia Military Divorce?

Your Virginia military divorce differs in many ways from civilian divorce. If you or your husband served time in the armed forces and you are considering ending your marriage, you should speak to a Chesapeake divorce lawyer who understands military divorce law.

Many women going through divorce while serving or married to someone serving in the military find that they run into many difficulties during the divorce process.

Military divorcées have to deal with:
 

  • military benefits;
  • filing jurisdiction; and
  • delays that result from the military member's career obligations.  

A Judge Advocate General (JAG) can't represent someone in court for a divorce case, and while they can give basic advice, they often can't offer much in the way of detailed guidance. You should seek the advice of your Chesapeake divorce lawyer.

Unfortunately, not all lawyers have experience handling cases that involve military couples. They may not be well versed in the state and federal laws involved or be sympathetic to the unique experience of getting divorced while in the military community.

It's important to have a knowledgeable, experienced divorce attorney on your side when you're facing a Virginia military divorce, so that he or she can address all the aspects of the process and help you get the best possible outcome.
