Navigating a divorce is challenging enough, but when you or your spouse is in the military, the complexity increases significantly. You need a divorce attorney who truly understands the unique issues that military families face. Our experienced divorce attorneys are well-versed in all aspects of military divorces. With both active duty and veteran attorneys on our team, we bring a deep understanding of military life to your case. We are dedicated to protecting your interests, whether you are active duty, retired, or a civilian spouse.

One significant reason military divorces are more complex than civilian divorces is the impact of both state and federal laws. Attorneys must understand and navigate federal laws like the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), the Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act (USFSPA), and the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), and how they interact with state divorce laws.

For military divorces, determining residency and court jurisdiction isn’t always straightforward. Deployments, regular relocations, and temporary duty assignments are part of military life, complicating residency and jurisdiction issues. Military service members are allowed to have two types of residences: their legal residence and the residence where they are stationed. Additionally, if there is already a physical separation from their spouse, the legal residence of the spouse can also be a factor. Our attorneys can help you navigate these complexities. We can also assist with Colorado legal proceedings if you are currently living out of the state or country.
