Virginia Beach, Virginia Military Divorce Lawyer
Military life is hard on families. The stress of long deployments to war zones and the difficulty many soldiers have resuming family life after an extended tour of duty can tear marriages apart.
Has your marriage become a casualty of war? Have you tried your best to make a go of your marriage and it's just not working? Is it time to consider divorce? Contact Burroughs Law Office today for a free case assessment.
If you or your spouse is in the military, divorce may be a more complex issue for you than it is for the average civilian couple. It is important to retain an attorney who understands all the special considerations involved when members of the military legally separate or divorce.
At Burroughs Law Office, P.C. in Virginia Beach, we understand the complex issues unique to a military divorce including:
- Military retirement issues and division of military pensions
- How military pay is determined and divided in a divorce
- Survivor benefit plans
- Military disability pay
- How the Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act applies
- Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act (USFSPA) issues
Divorce and family law attorney Lawrence D. Burroughs II not only practices law; he teaches at Saint Leo Universities, including Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek in Norfolk, Virginia and Dam Neck and Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach. He is experienced in handling all the issues involved in military divorce cases. Even if you are stationed out of state or out of the country, we can make certain your voice is heard and your rights are protected in all military divorce matters.
The law does not require that you retain an attorney who is experienced in military divorce, but it is in your best interests to do so.
Child custody, visitation, child support, alimony, division of property and other issues involved in the dissolution of any marriage can become more complicated in a military divorce.
This is especially true with pensions. Non-military spouses are often entitled to receive military pensions, but the reverse is also true. If you have a pension, then your military spouse may be entitled to receive a portion of it. We can help work out an equitable agreement for you.
We can help you through each step in the divorce process efficiently and cost-effectively. If you have a substantial change in circumstances after the divorce decree is signed, we can petition the court for a post-decree modification of the court order.
