Contemplating Divorce

Contemplating divorce as a military member or military spouse in California creates several unique issues as compared to a typical civilian divorce, which is why specific state and federal laws and rules will apply. You must be aware of issues with respect to jurisdiction and how filing an action in California may positively or negatively impact you, depending upon circumstances. Sometimes, a military member or spouse/former spouse of a military member may want to seek enforcement of court orders from out of state. Indeed, military dependents have the right to receive benefits while undergoing or after finalizing a divorce. Lastly, we always suggest that you check with your local installation to find if military legal assistance is available to you.
