Military Divorce in Virginia

Virginia military divorce cases are those that involve at least one person who has or had some form of military service (Active, Reserve, Guard) and which implicate special federal laws, such as the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act ("USFSPA") and/or the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ("SCRA").  Whether you are a military servicemember or the spouse of one, your Virginia military divorce lawyer must be familiar with the laws covering military retirement, survivor benefit plans, military disability pay, child support, and residency requirements, as well as the effects of military deployments on child custody and other aspects of military life.  Keep in mind that, if acquired during the marriage, retirement plans and pensions are "marital property" and can be divided by the court in what is called "equitable distribution" in Virginia (this does NOT necessarily mean a 50/50 split).
