Our military service members hold stressful jobs which sometimes leads to the unfortunate prospect of divorce, resulting in child custody issues, or other family law issues. The fact is that those serving in the military may actually face higher rates of divorce due to the stresses of their day to day job and being away from home for long stretches of time while on deployment.

Unlike a “normal” divorce, special challenges arise when military service members file for divorce.

It’s not uncommon for active duty military members and their spouses and families to be permanent residents of another state than which they are currently stationed in. Those military members on active duty may only reside at their current duty station for a short period of time with the intention of returning to their home state once their military service commitment is over.
