Tampa Military Divorce Attorney

Military Divorce Lawyer Also Serving St. Petersburg

Divorces in the military require a completely different knowledge of laws and statutes than a civilian divorce. Marriage dissolution in the military has unique laws and guidelines that are specific only to members of the armed services, and it is important to work with an experienced Tampa military divorce attorney who is familiar with the differences and similarities to civilian divorce. If you or your spouse lives or has been stationed in Florida, then you may be able to file for a military divorce in Florida. Additionally, Florida is a no-fault divorce state, which means that you can file for divorce even if you don’t have some sort of negative complaint against your spouse. These laws also apply to military divorce.

There are some very important aspects to military divorce that your attorney needs to be extremely familiar with. The Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act (USFSPA) is a Federal law that allows Florida courts to treat any military retirement pay as a divisible asset as applicable to Florida divorce law. Depending upon your unique circumstances, this means that one spouse could be eligible to receive a percentage of the serving spouse’s military pension. Of course, this depends upon how long you and your spouse were married, the financial situation of both parties, non-marital assets and other important factors.

Military divorce law also allows for the divorce proceedings to be postponed for the duration of the period that the active service member is on duty. This is a right that is offered to military men and women to help protect military personnel, and if you are looking to go forward with a military divorce, it is vital that you speak with a Tampa military divorce lawyer who has experience handling these types of divorce cases.

Every military divorce attorney at our law firm has the experience and knowledge of military dissolution of marriage laws that will benefit you and your family.

If you are considering filing for divorce and you or your spouse is a member of the military, contact a Tampa military divorce attorney at Givens Divorce Law Group.
