Division of property
Review of pension benefits
Determining custody of any minor children
Calculating child and/or spousal support
Determining if post-divorce benefits still apply

Why Choose The Hunter Law Group for Your Military Divorce?

One of the most complex aspects of a military divorce is determining retirement and disability pay. Although military disposable retired pay may be divisible upon divorce, pay such as Special Combat-Related Compensation (SCRC) or Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) are usually not divided between spouses. These complex issues should be handled by a knowledgeable military divorce lawyer who can craft a nuanced divorce decree crafted to preserve your benefits and ensure your retirement is sufficiently protected to avoid an argument in family court.

Protection Under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act

Another unique aspect of divorces between a military service member and a civilian is the right of service members to adopt a safeguard to prevent a default judgement being made against them, which is known as the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act. It also let the service member table the divorce proceedings while they are on active duty, serving overseas.

California Residency Requirements for Military Divorce

If you are in Mission Viejo, contact a lawyer at The Hunter Law Group for help with your military divorce. Although many military clients are stationed in California and natives of other states, you must have been a resident of California for at least 6 months or more to file for a divorce in California, and one of the parties must currently live in California.

“A ray of light throughout the storm”
After leaving a less than favorable relationship with my son's father and trying to navigate Family Law and the legal system on my own, I found myself completely bewildered. I was referred to The Hunter Law Group by a family friend and have been blown away by how amazing they have been to work with. Not only are they open and honest in their practices, they also empathetic, accommodating, and understanding. Every time I speak with them I feel at ease due to the security and trust they have built while working with them. My whole situation has been a nightmare legally but Dan Hunter and his staff have been a ray of light throughout the storm. I can't thank you guys enough.

“It’s an understatement when I say Dan Hunter was capable and trustworthy during a very tough divorce process!”
I highly recommend you chose him to represent you…and then REST ASSURED that you have made a great choice! He was both collaborative and strategic in getting me the best possible outcome. Not to mention, he has an amazing staff that are well versed in law themselves and also professional and kind to lend an ear to my gripes from time to time.

“My only complaint is that I wish I would have found him earlier.”
I was actually in trial when I realized that my then current attorney "was not cutting it" so to speak. Mr. Hunter agreed to take my case in the middle of trial. I was relieved! Unfortunately, the damage had been done. He was not able to turn the trial judge around, so Mr. Hunter took my case up on appeal and WON! The result on appeal was a reversal of the trial court's spousal support order as well as an order for a new trial on the issue of attorneys' fees. At the second trial on the issue of attorneys' fees and costs, Mr. Hunter was successful in obtaining an order that saved me from having to pay approximately $180,000 in legal fees and costs to my ex-wife. What a relief!!! Mr. Hunter is a master at his craft. My only complaint is that I wish I would have found him earlier.
