Speak with a Military Divorce Attorney at Mockler Leiner Law, P.A.
Military divorce cases are governed by two overlapping systems of law. Florida law controls issues such as divorce, equitable distribution, alimony, child support, parental responsibility, time-sharing, and relocation. Federal law can determine how military retired pay, disability benefits, the Survivor Benefit Plan, the Thrift Savings Plan, health-care coverage, and other military benefits may be addressed or divided. A mistake in either system can have consequences that continue long after the divorce is over.
Mockler Leiner Law, P.A. represents servicemembers, veterans, military spouses, and former spouses facing serious family law disputes. We handle cases involving the division of military retired pay, military disability and disability pay, deployment and child custody, military divorce jurisdiction, relocation, support, enforcement, domestic violence, and the division or preservation of valuable military benefits.
Contacting a lawyer early can be especially important when a case involves pending military orders, deployment, an approaching retirement, a disputed date of separation, disability compensation, SBP elections, or questions about which state has jurisdiction. These issues may affect where the case should be filed, what relief should be requested, what documents must be preserved, and how a proposed settlement or final judgment should be written.
When you contact our office, it is helpful to provide a brief description of the case, identify whether a divorce or family law action is already pending, and tell us about any scheduled hearings, deployments, military orders, or urgent deadlines. Please do not provide confidential documents or highly sensitive personal information through the initial contact form. We can explain the appropriate next steps after reviewing the basic circumstances of your matter.
