Dividing Military Benefits and Pension
Dividing military benefits is important for both the military member and the spouse. There can be several limitations on the military member and benefits for the spouse. Without a knowledgeable lawyer, both people could lose a great deal of their retirement savings. It is crucial to hire an attorney who maintains constant awareness of the changes in the law and has an acute understanding of the proper arguments.
Questions to Ask Your Attorney
- Are survivor benefits applicable? When? Does this include spouse and children?
- Under what circumstances can military insurance be continued?
- Under what circumstances can full spouse benefits be paid out?
- How do you ensure that you're getting the full monthly benefits, as there are several ways that those benefits can be reduced or eliminated?
There are some benefits that will be available to former spouses. However, there are many nuances to these benefits. It takes a skilled attorney to understand the nuances so you do not lose any benefits.
In addition to the nuances, there are also procedural requirements that can affect your benefits. Federal law and federal code govern the distribution of military benefits, and it can be difficult to maneuver past state court requirements. Cindy Lasky can work with you to help you meet the procedural benefits.
