Military divorce attorneys – Savannah Georgia
A military divorce is different from a normal divorce as it is governed by both the laws of the state that you live in and by Federal rules. Since a military divorce involves different rules and raises complex issues concerning pensions and other benefits, it is a good idea to consult with a military divorce lawyer rather than a civilian divorce lawyer. Usually, state law determines issues like maintenance, child custody, and visitation. Federal rules determines issues such as child support, property division, and military benefits. Under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, also called the SCRA, armed forces personnel are protected from all lawsuits as they must devote all of their time and energy to defending our country. The court will generally delay the military divorce proceeding until 60 days after active duty ends. To start any military divorce, the other party shoud be served with the Complaint. Serving a Complaint on someone in the military is different from serving a civilian. If the spouse is on active duty or deployed overseas, you may request that the military serve your spouse. In order for the military to serve the spouse, the spouse should consent to service. If the spouse refuses to consent to having the military serve the divorce Complaint, then you should return to court and request the court to appoint an officer of the court to serve the papers.
