MILITARY DIVORCE/SUPPORT

Case: Military Divorce of parties with one child, less than a year old. Husband was on active duty. Wife’s attorney contacted us to assist her with trying to understand what the military requires of its members who have children, and how that differs from the family court. Ultimately, after consulting with us, the attorney initiated a “Congressional Inquiry” to determine why actions were not being taken by the military to require the soldier to support his child.

Result: Within days thereafter, a garnishment of his wages took place and the mother began to receive her support.
