The Issues Involved When Divorcing Active Duty Military Personnel
If you are married to an active duty service member, getting a divorce is particularly complex. The first hurdle that needs to be overcome is simply serving him or her the divorce papers. The experienced lawyers of the Nova Family Law Group have been handling military divorce for decades. We know how to get the papers into your spouse's hands as soon as possible in order to get the process moving forward.
Is the Service Member Stationed at a Base in the United States?
Serving divorce papers to an active duty member of the armed forces is not like serving them to a civilian. Whether your spouse is stationed at Fort Belvoir, Fort Myer, Langley AFB, Quantico or any other military base in Virginia or throughout the United States, a specific process needs to be adhered to. Our attorneys know the process.
Is the Service Member Stationed Overseas?
Matters become even more complex if the member of the armed forces is on active duty and stationed overseas. We are skilled and knowledgeable in interstate and international issues, and the rules that may come into play, including the Hague Conference. Our experience has taught us a variety of strategies that we can employ in order to overcome this unique obstacle and get service members served divorce papers.
