Virginia offers special considerations for military divorces because of federal laws such as the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act. They deal with things like benefits, pensions, and jurisdictional concerns for veterans. In Virginia, courts usually divide marital assets equitably by applying equitable distribution rules. Although active-duty service personnel may be exempt from certain residence requirements, the standards for filing a military divorce in Virginia are generally the same as those for civilian divorces. It is recommended to speak with an informed lawyer with experience handling military divorces.
