Military Divorce Checklist
Eleven (11) Military Divorce Checklists
Steps not to forget in a military divorce decree
The military is used to checklists. Even military spouses quickly become familiar with checklists. You have the in-processing, out-processing, household goods shipments, etc.
There is always some set of rules or steps to take in every procedure. The first checklist probably began with basic training, learning how to shine your
shoes where adding water was somewhere in the list of things to do, the checklist to reach that perfect shine.
So, it's a natural expectation that there must be some regulation that provides the military divorce checklist of what to do during a divorce. And both sides, the service
member and the former spouse, will expect that regulation to be unbiased and fairly state actions to take for their particular cause.
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer. Even when Congress passed the
Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act,
it only gave authority to the states to treat military retired pay as a divisible marital asset. There was no checklist on how each state should actually accomplish this.
Military Divorce Tips includes eleven military divorce checklists (summarized below) to assist service members, military spouses, and military divorce lawyers
down correct paths. Keep in mind these checklists focus on Military Divorce. They are not all inclusive divorce checklists. There are plenty of books
published for general divorce tips. See some recommendations
and also the forthcoming Family Divorce Tips.
