Military Divorce Lawyer
There is no such thing as a military divorce in the U.S Armed forces. Only civilian courts can allow parties to seek a divorce or any of the other functions of family law. Additionally, the rules that apply to civilian family court matters are drastically different than the rules of military divorce law. It is always important for any active duty service member or a spouse of a service member or military retiree, to have the benefit of legal representation because of all the ways that the military rules and benefits interact with the civil law. Gordon N. Shayne has extensive experience representing civilians, active duty and retired military personnel during their divorce proceedings.
Mr. Shayne is familiar with the unique demands of military divorces, including specific procedures for deployment, transfers and time spent away from home, and parenting time considerations.
