Military & Federal Civil Pensions

Fairfax Military Divorce Settlement Attorney

Protecting Pensions, Retirements and Your Future

At the end of 20 years of military service to the nation, often the biggest asset a military family has in their possession is their federal pension. If that marriage breaks down, the issue of how to distribute and divide those military pensions in divorce can become among the most difficult property distribution issues in a divorce settlement.

To discuss questions regarding your military pensions, call us toll free at 1-866-491-8319 or locally at 703-763-4067.

For clients who are pursuing a divorce later in life, perhaps even after the kids are grown, a military and federal civilian pension is more important than a house, cars or other property. We also understand that it is practically impossible to modify a property division after the divorce order is entered, so we work to ensure it is done right the first time.

At the Law Office of Richard L. Downey, located in Fairfax, Virginia, we know how to help you protect federal pensions in divorce settlements to make sure your plans for your future stay on track.
