Military Service Issues

RI Military Divorce Lawyer

If you are in the military and seeking a divorce, trust your case to Attorney Don Moyer. A member of the military since 1992, he has a thorough understanding of the unique issues that soldiers and sailors are facing. These issues affect the way Attorney Moyer pursues resolutions to any divorce, custody, visitation, or other family law matter that may arise.

When you are seeking a divorce within a military context, you must satisfy certain requirements. 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 some of these issues are addressed. As an example, 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 our lawyers 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, Attorney Moyer confidently assist clients in dealing with child custody issues. Relocation is a major issue for military families since they often are required to move as part of their job requirements. Custody agreements must be amended to factor in the relocation or deployment of a custodial parent, and Attorney Moyer can address this.
