What Makes a Military Divorce Different
A divorce involving a service member follows Florida law, but it can also involve federal rules that do not apply to civilian divorces. These can include protections that affect timing when a service member is on active duty, questions about which state has authority over the case, and the treatment of military pensions and benefits. Residency and where to file can also be more complicated when a service member is stationed away from home.

How We Help
We help service members and spouses understand how Florida law and the relevant federal rules apply to their situation, and we work to protect their interests on issues such as time-sharing, support, and the division of property and benefits.
This is general information about Florida law, not legal advice. How these rules apply depends on the details of your situation. Talking with an attorney is the clearest way to understand what they mean for you.
