Military Spouse Residency Relief Act (MSRRA)

The Military Spouses Residency Relief Act (MSRRA) of November 2009 was an amendment to SCRA. The aim was to eliminate military spouses from having to change voter registrations, driver’s licenses, and tax filing states every time a military family relocates.

However in the case of a military divorce, it means much more:

"The spouse’s (military and nonmilitary) choice of residence may allow them to avoid “community property” laws, longer-term child support payments (some states extend child support payments past age 18) and alimony, among others, despite living in that state at the time the document is entered into or divorce is filed."
