When one or both spouses are in the military, getting a divorce can bring challenges beyond the traditional concerns. There are special rules that apply to military members who are divorcing, and it is important to understand how these affect you.
To qualify for a divorce in Florida, the military spouse must be stationed in the state, or one spouse must have lived in Florida for at least six months before the divorce. Active duty military members also have special rules and can be protected from being in default if they fail to respond to a divorce petition.
To make sure that you meet these unique stipulations and that the courts fully protect your rights in a settlement, you need a New Port Richey divorce attorney on your side. At Dale L. Bernstein, Chartered Law Office, we understand what you are going through. We can help you through the entire process.
