Ep. 49 - Unique Aspects of Military Divorce with David Smith,CDFA

If you are in the military or married to someone who is a service member and you are considering divorce, there are very unique aspects to a military divorce that you will want to know. Listen as David Smith, a retired US Air Force Dental Officer, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Certified QDRO Specialist, Military Divorce Financial Specialist, and founder of Sand Oak Divorce Solutions shares his expertise to help you avoid the landmines in divorce.

Military divorce generally follows the same process as civilian divorce, but with unique considerations due to the nature of military service. Key differences include potential delays due to deployment, specific laws protecting service members, and unique rules for dividing military retirement benefits. Divorce can also impact military benefits like housing allowances (BAH), commissary and exchange privileges, as well as healthcare.
