Getting Divorced While Being Active Duty Military Can Present Some Challenges

Working in the military and going through a divorce can be difficult. Not only do you have to deal with an already tough situation in going through a divorce, there are also legal repercussions that come from going through a divorce. Splitting up your military retirement is usually a challenge in divorce court. Also, when figuring out child support and/or spousal support (alimony), we need to come up with accurate figures to input into the Dissomaster program to make sure that you’re not get cheated out of money. That could include CONUS COLA, BAH, and BAS payments which must be identified in your Defense Finance and Accounting Service Military Leave and Earnings Statement. And, when figuring out a child custody order, we’ll need to be aware of possible permanent change of station (PCS) which could significantly alter the child custody orders in your case.
