Are you one of many Virginia women seeking military divorces and need more information on how to safeguard your family’s future? A military divorce lawyer in Virginia Beach can help!

Military Guide on DivorceMaking the decision to seek a divorce can be one of the most important decisions you will make during your adult life. But as you already know, women who are either married to military men or fulfilling active duty obligations themselves have a host of other decisions to consider with regards to military divorces. Luckily, you don't have to face these trying circumstances alone.

A military divorce lawyer in Virginia Beach can help you get the military divorce information needed to guide you through your proceedings.

A Military Divorce Lawyer in Virginia Beach Knows the Issues You Face

Life for the female service member or military wife can be more complicated in some aspects than it is for civilians, particularly in trying times such as a deployment and lengthy service obligations. The same is true of military divorces.

Some of the issues specific to military divorce include: 


While military divorces bring with them additional concerns, they also offer a number of benefits to military wives, specifically through the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act (USFSPA). But unfortunately, if you don't know the right questions to ask or the correct legal processes to follow, you may end up losing out on important benefits for you and your children.

Addressing Your Questions and Concerns About Military Divorce

Our eight-lawyer team at Hofheimer Ferrebee is devoted solely to representing women going through divorce and has years of experience in the military divorce arena. We can guide you through the entire process, giving you the military divorce information you need to keep your case on track.

When you meet with us for a consultation, together we'll address some of the following questions specific to military divorce that are weighing heavily on your mind, such as:
 

  • Does my military divorce occur in a military or state court?
  • Will my ex-husband's child support payments be automatically taken out of his leave and earnings statement?
  • How will deployment and new duty stations impact child custody arrangements?
  • Are there any protections for me if I'm the service member, and my husband serves me with divorce papers during a deployment or overseas assignment? 


While the military installation closest to you may have free legal resources offering basic military divorce information, it's important to note that you can't use a JAG officer to represent you. For this reason, many women seek civilian attorneys for their divorces. Take it from us; before you hire an attorney, find out whether he or she has experience with military divorce cases.

Having someone on your side who can prepare for the military-specific issues you will face can make all the difference in the outcome of your divorce and most importantly, in you and your children's futures.

Making Sense of Divorce with a Military Divorce Lawyer in Virginia Beach

Our team of divorce lawyers at Hofheimer Ferrebee understands that as a woman seeking a military divorce, you're going to have a number of concerns - your future welfare and that of your children ranking high among them.

Throughout your divorce proceedings, it's natural to have a lot of questions, especially if you're going through a military divorce. Get the answers you need and the guidance your case deserves by requesting one of our FREE divorce guides for women, or reserving your seat at our monthly divorce seminar - 1-757-425-5200.
