What is the difference between military divorce and civilian divorce?

Military Divorce

Military divorce is slightly different from civilian divorce in that formulas for dividing military benefits will govern division of assets in most circumstances. The divorce forms may be similar but when considering filing for divorce and being a commissioned military personnel, it might be wise to educate yourself on laws in the state or country that the divorce is going to be filed. An attorney experienced in military divorce may be able to help if there are outstanding issues; however, if all issues in the divorce case are agreed upon and both parties are comfortable with using a divorce kit, this may save resources and ease the burden of filing divorce papers.
