Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois Attorney Experience With Military Divorces
A military divorce is not the same as a civilian divorce. There are special issues specific to military divorces that a lot of attorneys with no military experience simply do not understand. If you are facing a military divorce, you want a lawyer who is familiar with the unique and challenging laws surrounding military divorce.
I am an Army veteran, and I understand the laws and procedures involved in military divorce. I understand how the military works. Serving DuPage County from my Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, law firm office, I offer a discounted rate for all military divorce clients.
Special Issues in Military Divorce
Several common issues come up in most of the military divorces I handle as an attorney:
- Deployment: Deployment usually forces the parties to live in different jurisdictions, which causes custody and visitation problems. I work hard to make sure the kids still have a chance to maintain a relationship with both parents after a divorce, regardless of deployment-related issues.
- Benefits packages: Often a military retirement pension is the main asset for military families. When it comes to division of assets and debt, I can help you reach a quick, equitable settlement regarding the military benefits package.
- Varying laws by military branch: Depending on whether we are dealing with the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or Marines, the laws regarding child custody, child support, division of assets and spousal support will be different. You need an attorney with military experience to help you work through these complicated laws.
Plenty can go wrong in a military divorce. Knowledge of military procedures as well as the law is something you should consider when choosing counsel for a military divorce.
