Flint, Michigan, Military Divorce Lawyer
The Soldier and Sailor Relief Act protects enlisted military personnel from the negative impact of a divorce while on active duty. If you are serving your country in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere in the world and your husband or wife has filed for divorce, your family law attorney can go to court to stop that divorce long enough to give you proper time to respond appropriately.
Contact the law offices of Charles D. Riley, Attorney at Law, to schedule a consultation regarding military divorce and your rights, whether you are the soldier or the spouse of an enlisted soldier or sailor.
When there are minor children in a military divorce, the serviceman or servicewoman is most likely concerned about crafting or keeping a favorable child visitation agreement. Attorney Riley has helped many people in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines to keep in contact with their children as follows:
A parenting time schedule can be arranged to allow you visitation with your children whenever you are on leave from active duty, and to then revert to a more traditional child custody arrangement after you are back in your home territory.
Other issues that commonly arise in a military divorce include the following:
- Grandparents want to see their grandchildren despite the divorce and even though the parent of the children (their own son or daughter) is overseas on active duty.
- A wife (or husband) of a serviceman or servicewoman wants to assert her or his right to half of the military pension accrued during marriage.
- The soldier or sailor who is away needs reassurance that child support orders are properly calculated.
