Military Residency Divorce

Northern Virginia Military Divorce Lawyers

Residency is a key component to determining a court’s rightful jurisdiction to decide a family law matter. In cases that involve military service members, however, this is not always an easy determination to make.

If you are a service member or you are married to one, be sure that you seek the advice of a reliable Virginia military divorce attorney who knows the law and can advise you about these important issues. At HALE BALL MURPHY, PLC, our northern Virginia military residency divorce lawyers represent servicemembers and their spouses in all aspects of military divorce proceedings.

We understand the importance residency considerations can play in the outcome of your case and the many factors that go into determining it. Our family law attorneys will do everything in our power to secure an outcome that benefits you.

Understanding the Factors That Determine Residency in Virginia Family Law Cases

Under Virginia law, one of the spouses must have lived in the commonwealth for at least six months and intend to remain a resident. In addition, if a service member who claims legal residency in Virginia has been deployed, he or she can file for divorce with the Virginia court. People who are stationed in Virginia can also file their cases here.

If a servicemember’s spouse files in a jurisdiction other than the servicemember’s home, that jurisdiction’s court may hear the case with the consent of the servicemember. Our attorneys understand the importance of residency issues in the context of a divorce or other family law matters. In every case, we use our considerable experience and skill to help our clients reach the best possible result.

Our attorneys can assist with any legal needs that may arise from a divorce, including divorce litigation itself, asset division, and name changes. Contact our attorneys today for legal aid.
