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?
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.

- Military retirement 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.
Alimony, child custody, visitation, child support, distribution of property and other issues involved in the dissolution of any marriage become more complicated in a military divorce.
We can help you through each step in the 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.
Even in military divorce cases, we offer our services for one flat fee. To arrange a free case assessment, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
