01 Overview

What is a military divorce?

A military divorce is a divorce where one or both spouses are members of the military. While it follows the same legal process as a civilian divorce, there are a few additional layers to consider, like military pensions, deployment schedules, and specific federal protections.

Do you need an attorney for a military divorce?

Military divorces aren’t as straightforward as a standard divorce, so having professional support can make a big difference. An attorney can help you:

  • Understand how military service affects your rights
  • Navigate the division of military pensions and benefits
  • Handle issues like custody, support, or housing when deployments or relocations are involved
  • Make sure your divorce agreement is valid, enforceable, and fair to both sides

When should you hire an attorney for a military divorce?

The earlier, the better. Whether you're active duty, recently separated, or a military spouse, it helps to get legal advice as soon as you're considering divorce or legal separation. Even if things feel amicable, an attorney can help make sure everything is handled correctly from the start. They can help you manage expectations and keep you focused on the goal during what can be an emotionally charged situation.

02 Benefits

What an attorney brings to the table with a military divorce

Military life adds extra layers to the divorce process. A divorce attorney helps you navigate it all with clarity, support, and a focus on what matters most.

Clear, straightforward advice

Military divorce involves both state and federal laws, and they don’t always work together smoothly. Your attorney will explain how these rules apply to your situation – whether it's about residency, filing requirements, or military protections – and help you understand your rights in plain, jargon-free language.

Steady support through a complex process

From deployment schedules and time zone differences to base housing, military life can make the process more complicated. Your attorney is there to keep things grounded, helping you manage the details, communicate effectively, and work toward practical solutions that fit your reality.

An agreement that holds up

Military divorces come with unique considerations like dividing pensions, handling survivor benefits, or adjusting parenting plans during service. There may be challenges specific to your situation, as well as a number of moving parts that need to be addressed. Your attorney will make sure the final agreement is thorough, legally enforceable, and built to last, even when circumstances change.

03 Costs

How much does an attorney cost for a military divorce?

Costs vary depending on your situation – how complex things are, whether children or pensions are involved, and how easily both parties can agree. At Lawhive, we believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs - we don't charge by the hour like traditional law firms. You’ll know what you’re paying for each step of the way, with no hidden fees or surprises.

How long does the process take?

Military divorces can take longer than civilian ones, especially if one person is stationed overseas or deployed. But having the right legal support can help avoid delays. On average, it can take a few months, but that depends on your circumstances and how quickly agreements can be reached. An attorney keeps things moving and makes sure everything stays on track.

04 Support

What you can expect from a Lawhive attorney

Military life doesn’t always fit into neat boxes, and divorce is no exception. To start, you'll speak with our experienced team right away so we can understand your story and exactly what legal help you need. Then we'll provide a clear idea of the costs involved, with no hidden fees or hourly billing.
