Internet Military Family Resources for Tennessee Divorce and Family Laws
There’s a wealth of information on the web that can help military families:
- The Military Spouse Coach offers support strategies for the spouses of those in the military.
- Military Significant Other and Spouse offers “information and support for all aspects of the military life, from basic and bootcamp to relocation and retirement.”
- Military.com offers advice and information to spouses and families of members of the military.
- ABA Homefront is the American Bar Association’s page of legal resources for military families, including a military pro-bono center.
- MilitaryOneSource is a great source for support, information, policies, procedures, and articles for military families.
- National Military Family Association helps sustain military families through educational scholarships, camps, family retreats, and information on benefits as well as information on divorce issues.
- Military Divorce & Separation Issues contains information on military divorce, garnishment of wages, child support issues, divorce support groups, and much more.
- Stateside Legal offers many details on how “military” divorces differ from “civilian” divorces.
- One American Bar Association Newsletter article covers some of the practical aspects of a military divorce, including serving papers, questions about jurisdiction, and some pitfalls you can avoid.
There are so many resources out there on the web that this blog cannot list. Our recommendation is that you google “military” (or a specific branch of the military), “divorce,” and your particular area of concern, be it “serving papers,” “child support,” pensions, and so on.
Important caveat: whatever you find on the web should not be acted upon. Those going through a divorce that involves a member of the military (actually, anyone going through a divorce) simply needs one-on-one, competent legal advice with an experienced family lawyer who can take into consideration all the variables that your particular situation entails.
