Military Relocations
Military families relocate frequently. At our firm, we understand the impact this can have on your loved ones, especially if you have children and are divorced. In these situations, it is important to consider the impact the move will have on a child, including:
- How far away will the child be from his or her other parent?
- How will the child communicate or visit with his or her other parent?
- What quality schools are available in the new location?
- Will day care be necessary?
- How much time will you be able to spend with the child and how flexible will your new work schedule be?
- How does the new location compare with the current situation?
- What will the quality of life be like for your child in the new place?
It is also important to notify the other parent immediately if you are planning a relocation. Moving is a major decision and disclosing your plans is the most conscientious and strategic way to handle the situation.
Medical Coverage and Health Insurance
Under the military rules, medical and health insurance coverage should be continued for children until they are at least 18 or out of high school. Coverage for the spouse can end when the divorce is finalized. These benefits have reasonable costs and we recommend that our military clients extend these benefits to their family members for as long as possible.
Military Personnel and Criminal Charges
If you are in the military, it is important to avoid domestic violence charges. An additional weapons charge, due to your service pistol or other weapons, can increase your penalties. Marguerite Nealon can help you fight charges, such as domestic violence, DUI or a possession charge in the Courts of Common Pleas.
