Fairfax Military Divorce Attorney
Representing Active Duty and Retired Military Personnel
As an active duty or retired military servicemember, or as the spouse of military personnel, there are many complex considerations that must be made during divorce. In many ways, a military divorce is like a civilian divorce ― at the end of the marriage, decisions regarding finances and your children will be made. In other ways, a military divorce differs from a civilian divorce ― specific agreements need to be reached regarding military pensions, and child custody may present additional challenges.
At the Law Office of Richard L. Downey in Fairfax, Virginia, your questions about military divorce will be answered by an attorney with more than 30 years of experience who is also an Army Reserve Officer. Call us today toll free at 1-866-491-8319 or locally at 703-763-4067 to arrange your consultation.
The Elements of a Military Divorce
When your divorce is final, you will walk away from the process with agreements governing finances, property, parenting time and other items. The decisions made at this point will affect your life greatly. While modifications may be possible in the future, our firm strives to reach workable and favorable agreements on behalf of our clients.

- Property settlement : We reach accurate property settlement agreements that protect your rights and your future.
