Understanding Military Divorce Finances

Military divorce finances require special considerations, as factors like the division of military benefits, child custody across bases, and retirement distribution can complicate the process. Unique to military divorces, the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act (USFSPA) allows military pensions to be treated as marital property if specific requirements are met. Understanding these regulations and planning accordingly can help both parties navigate the financial aspects of a military divorce more effectively.
