Protecting Your Rights in a Military Divorce
We represent military personnel or their spouses in all matters related to or arising out of divorce, including:
- Child custody and parenting time — We will help you put in place custody and visitation agreements that are in the best interests of your children while protecting your rights as parents.
- Child support — We will review all proposed child support orders for compliance with Colorado guidelines and to ensure that all income is correctly included in the calculation.
- Alimony or spousal support — We will help you determine whether alimony is necessary and, if so, the amount and duration of payments.
- Division of marital property — We will help you equitably distribute the debts and assets of your marriage, including real and personal property, bank accounts and investments, and retirement accounts, such as a military pension. We understand the special rules governing the division of military retirement benefits and have successfully helped many military clients.
In military divorce proceedings, jurisdictional issues can often arise, as the parties may be in different states or parts of the world. We are intimately familiar with the provisions of the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act, which prohibits military personnel from being subject to default judgment in a divorce proceeding while on assignment in some other location.
