Addressing The Differences In A Divorce From A Member Of The Military
Military families have different considerations when dealing with divorce. There are various federal regulations that affect active military members who get divorced, especially while they are deployed.

Federal law protects military members in terms of how and when they can be served with a divorce petition, how much of their salary can go to child support and alimony and whether their military retirement pensions can be divided as marital property. Hawaii instituted a law in 2010 that protects service members from having deployment considered as a strike against them in custody and visitation disputes, as well as expediting cases for service members who are about to be deployed.
