Postponing Divorce During Active Duty

The Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act requires that the divorce proceeding be postponed for the entire time that an active service member is on duty. The proceeding can also be postponed for up to 60 days after the individual is off duty. Active-duty members can waive this right to postpone proceedings if they wish to complete the divorce.

Property Division In Military Divorces

The federal government has enacted the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act, which governs how military retirement benefits are calculated and divided in the event of a divorce.
