Military Divorce Attorney in Annapolis, MD

Military Divorce Overview

Attorney Marc Schifanelli combines his military divorce law experience and knowledge with a distinctive 22-year career with U.S. Army Special Operations. Prior to becoming a lawyer, he traveled the world in a variety of leadership positions. He worked with people from various cultures, often in high-stress environments. That unique insight into the professional and personal challenges that Baltimore- and Annapolis- based military personnel face is a valuable asset when they are seeking a qualified lawyer to handle their divorce.

Custody, child support, spousal support and relocation matters are handled differently when a spouse serving in any branch of the armed forces is divorcing. The military has its own regulations for military personnel and their family members. In addition to state law, the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act applies in a divorce action.

Spouses of military personnel are entitled to receive basic allowance for quarters (BAQ) from their husband or wife serving in the military. Retirement benefits are divided based on factors that involve the length of the marriage versus the years of active duty service. Custody and relocation issues arise when a transfer or deployment occurs.

If you are filing for divorce or have been served with papers, take immediate action and call an experienced military divorce attorney. Contact our Annapolis law office at 888-719-7892 or 866-451-2176. ¿Habla español? Bienvenido.
