Military Divorce

Not all divorces are the same. A divorce that involves military personnel needs to be approached differently than a standard divorce.

At the law firm of Atkinson & Kelsey, we know how to handle military divorce. We are the first and most experienced divorce and family law firm in the state. You can be confident that we can help you pursue the results that you deserve.

What Makes Military Divorce Different?

Military divorces have unique characteristics. They are governed by both New Mexico and federal laws.

One of the unique characteristics of military divorce is that child custody needs to be approached differently if one of the divorcing parties is on active duty. Our lawyers know exactly how to approach this matter.

The biggest differences between a military divorce and other divorces are the government benefits and rights afforded to armed services personnel. These benefits include medical benefits, retirement benefits, commissary benefits and more. You can be confident that our team understands how to address these benefits when it comes to property division, child support and spousal support.

Our law firm takes pride in communicating with the people we represent. When you choose our firm to handle a military divorce case, we will take the time to educate you about the specific differences that apply in your case.

More importantly, we will take the time to listen to you. We believe in the importance of getting to know your needs. After all, our job is to see that your needs and desires are met.

If you or your spouse is a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard, we can assist with your divorce.
