Military Divorce Lawyer in the Fort Walton Beach Area
Military divorce is similar to civilian divorce and share issues such as support, custody, property division and all other divorce-related issues. As a former Sergeant in the Marine Corps, I enjoy handling divorce cases that involve military service members, and I understand the problems that are unique to these cases.
I offer fee discounts for military personnel. I do this because we share a common background and because military service members are usually younger people and are sometimes far away from home.

Can We Reconcile?
People divorce for any number of reasons. Some divorces are resolved relatively easily, some are intensely fought. When handling a divorce, I try to aid in reconciliation if at all possible.
If we cannot manage to reconcile, I try to make the process as painless for you as possible. If it can be done, we try to put together a marital settlement agreement without having to go court, and taking into account the fact that you or your spouse is deployed. Avoiding court means less time, money, and effort on your part.
Caring for the Children Involved
Divorce is usually more complicated with children. You may face problems such as child custody, child support, alimony, paternity and other issues. These types of disputes arise after a divorce, or for those who have never been married, particularly for military service members.
When you or your spouse has been or will be deployed for an extended period of time, and there are children involved, arrangements have to be made in advance as to who gets the child when the residential parent is deployed.
As a Florida attorney serving the military, it is my job to negotiate the situation for my client. For more information about military divorce and related issues like child custody when you or your spouse is deployed, contact my office online or call 850-659-7087.
