Military Service Issues

RI Military Divorce Lawyer

If you are in the military and seeking a divorce, trust your case to me, Attorney Don P. Moyer. Commisioned as an Infantry officer in 1992, I have a thorough understanding of the unique issues that soldiers and sailors are facing. These issues affect the way we pursue a resolution to any family law matters that may arise.

When you are seeking a divorce within a military context, you must satisfy certain government rules. Though Rhode Island has specific laws that state how family law cases are to be handled and marital property divided, federal legislation also dictates how these issues are addressed. The Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act (USFSPA) governs the calculation and division of military pension benefits.

At Moyer Law Office, we know not all benefits have to be divided. With my help, you can learn more about the guidelines through which it is determined which pensions and benefits must be divided and how they are divided.

In addition to military divorce issues, I confidently assist clients in dealing with child custody issues. Relocation is a major issue for military families since they are frequently moving around. Custody agreements must be amended to factor in the relocation or deployment of a custodial parent.
