Worcester Divorce Attorney
At the law office of Army & Army, L.L.C., we care about the challenges and stresses military families face. Financial challenges and the stress of frequent moves and family separation leave otherwise strong spouses vulnerable to marital problems ... and divorce.
If you are considering divorce and you or your partner are in the military, talk with a law firm that understands the unique situation you face.
- How can you handle a child custody arrangement with a parent who may be stationed overseas at any time?
- Can you ensure your parents can see their grandchildren if you are overseas?

Regardless of your location, we will work to make this process as easy as possible for you.

Determining Support
Does a re-enlistment bonus figure into income considerations when a child support decision is being made? How are other benefits considered? Our divorce attorneys have decades of experience handling military divorce cases. We can advise you how military compensation packages are viewed under Massachusetts child support guidelines.
Spousal support is not determined based upon a guideline. A couple may arrive at a spousal support agreement through their own negotiations, or a dependent spouse may petition the court to grant spousal support. The nonmilitary spouse has often made significant career sacrifices in order to support the career of the military spouse. This is one factor that the judge can consider, along with age, health, education, work experience, etc.
Division of Marital Property and the Issues of a Military Pension
While property division is handled in much the same way as a civilian divorce, the nonmilitary spouse can face difficulty with the division of a military pension. There are certain procedures that must be followed in retirement division. If the military spouse is now stationed in another state, enforcement of interstate orders can be a challenge. We can help.
The Challenges of Child Custody
Military personnel are already dealing with absences from their children. It's so important to safeguard their visitation or custody rights when they are stateside. Relationships with extended families can suffer as well if the civilian parent does not support contact and the military parent is not around to ensure contact is maintained. We work with creativity and purpose to protect our clients' parenting rights in a manner that works for the child and the parents.
