MILITARY DIVORCE CASE RESULT:
Divorce of Husband and Wife after 6 year marriage. The Husband hired our office, and the Wife represented herself, along with assistance from her local JAG office due to the fact that the Husband was a military member. The Wife had already moved out of state and did not want to attend the court hearing in Rhode Island. My client and she worked together while I communicated with the JAG officer in order to reach a resolution that was satisfactory to both of them. She chose not to make the trip to put it on the record given the written contract we were able to negotiate.

A key issue when dealing with military family law is domicile. Military members have a unique set of rules and regulations controlled by federal law that can affect the ability of a state court to proceed with a divorce and the rules can also affect the ability of a state court to divide the assets of a military member or to resolve custody issues. In some cases the court may make a decision of divorce if there is jurisdiction over the party seeking the divorce, issues such as children, property rights and spousal support cannot be decided unless there is personal jurisdiction over both parties.

The two elements of domicile are physical presence and intent, which is proven by facts such as the filing of state income and property taxes, voting records, bank accounts, vehicle titles and registration, driver’s license and any other act or property that shows a permanency of residence. Military personnel are allowed to retain the right to their original domicile (where they pay taxes) regardless of where they are stationed in the world.
MILITARY DIVORCE / SUPPORT CASE:
Military Divorce of parties with one child, less than a year old. Husband was on active duty. Wife’s attorney contacted us to assist her with trying to understand what the military requires of its members who have children, and how that differs from the family court. Ultimately, after consulting with us, the attorney initiated a “Congressional Inquiry” to determine why actions were not being taken by the military to require the soldier to support his child. Within days thereafter, a garnishment of his wages took place and the mother began to receive her support.

Military pensions are divisible in the event of divorce; however, they are subject to different rules than the rules that govern most pensions. Because this area of the law requires a special knowledge of laws that are not applicable in civilian matters, an experienced military law attorney is essential and necessary in cases involving military family law.
