Divorce Lawyer for Military Service Men and Women
Special rules and laws may apply whenever an active duty or retired member of the U.S. military gets a divorce.
For instance, did you know that the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act imposes special requirements on anyone who seeks a divorce from an armed forces member stationed overseas? Or that if a husband or wife is entitled to military retirement pay, the Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act makes any disposable retirement pay subject to property division?
At The Marks Law Firm, L.L.C., we offer a level of experience with military divorce cases that few other firms in the St. Louis area or surrounding portions of Missouri and Illinois can match. We have represented military members stationed overseas and stateside at installations such as Scott AFB and Fort Leonard Wood. We have also represented husbands and wives of military members in numerous cases.
Whatever your situation, we can help.
For uncommon experience in this complex area of the law — contact The Marks Law Firm, L.L.C. online, or call us at 314-993-6300 to schedule an initial consultation.
Other Issues
One of the threshold questions in any military divorce is "Where do I file the divorce petition?" In other words, you may not be able to file the petition in the jurisdiction in which you currently live. In most cases, we can provide clients with an answer to this question at the initial consultation. The problem of dividing military pensions and other benefits is also tricky. The reason is that each branch of the U.S. military handles this issue differently. We know what the rules for each branch are and how to make them work for our clients.
