Military Divorce in Tampa Bay
Attorney Thor Hartwig while deployed to Kandahar Province, Afghanistan.
For almost two decades our servicemen have been in a constant state of deployment and training for our continued efforts overseas. The constant moves and time away from home can be taxing on military spouses, and despite all of the family services available to military couples, divorce amongst the ranks is a common occurrence.
Because of the transient nature of military life, getting a divorce while on active duty, or in one of the reserve components, can create complex family law situations that require an attorney to understand both state and federal law, military regulation, as well as the realities of military life.
As a former active duty officer in the Army, and a current Captain in the Florida Army National Guard, attorney Thor Hartwig understands what it is like to serve and what it is like to go through a military divorce while on active duty. Because of his personal experience and admiration for those who are brave enough to actually serve their country, he will ensure that all military clients' family law issues are handled with the highest level of dedication.
Some areas unique to military divorce and family law include:
- Which state to file in
- Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act
- Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act
- Military pension upon retirement
- Unaccompanied orders (wife and children are out of state)
- Deployment or PCS while in the divorce process
- Military regulations regarding support
- Child custody upon PCS
Many Tampa Bay attorneys market their services towards active-duty servicemen and veterans, yet very few have personally served and cannot understand the difficulties of military life first-hand. Attorney Hartwig can personally relate to your military divorce or family law issue and proudly offers a substantially discounted hourly rate.
