COMING OUT OF A MILITARY DIVORCE SUCCESSFULLY WITH EXPERT MEDIATION

Going through a military divorce can be hard for most people. Apart from being difficult to process and understand, a military divorce can also become a long and tiring wait that makes an already emotionally wrecking situation worse. A number of reasons contribute towards this, the nature of military service of your spouse being the biggest one.

For instance, if your spouse serves in the military overseas and is away for long periods, a simple divorce process can become complicated. To make matters worse, the issues of spousal support, child custody and property division become more and more pronounced in the case of a military divorce because all these are affected by the unique lifestyle of a service member.

Therefore, coming out of a military divorce successfully depends solely on how the matter is dealt with. Mediation, according to the best opinions in this field, is the best way for a couple, with a military spouse to ensure that the divorce is smooth, less stressful and is settled as amicably as possible.

With a trustworthy and understanding mediator, half the problems tied to a military divorce can be solved easily. By law, all military personnel are exempted and protected from long and painful divorce proceedings that can distract them from their duties to the nation. For this reason, taking a military divorce through court rooms and public attorneys is not always ideal. Therefore, to ensure that your concerns and qualms are heard equally during the divorce, as opposed to the exemptions granted to your partner, the best route forward is to hire a mediator.

With an expert mediator, you will be given help and advice on the best time to file for dissolution of marriage and the best agreeable division of assets. Moreover, the biggest concern for people with military partners is to know the rights they have. If you are a stay at home wife who has spent time raising kids and moving from place to place to support your husband’s Army or Navy career, the rights and compensation you are due after divorce is an important concern.

On the other hand, if you are the military spouse, a mediator can be entrusted with most of the paperwork needed to finalize the divorce– something that would otherwise take up a lot of your precious time. Finally, a mediator will also be responsible for a friendly settlement of pension division because a unique set of rules apply to a military spouse seeking a share of the service member’s retirement plan.
