Military Divorce

A military divorce in Virginia presents unique considerations that demand careful attention. The possibility or actuality of military deployment can significantly impact the timeline of divorce proceedings. Determining suitable living arrangements for children becomes crucial, particularly when base housing is no longer available. Additional expenses may arise as privileges like commissary access are lost. Military retirement benefits also come into play, contingent upon the duration of the marriage and the military service of the spouse. Navigating visitation rights can be challenging, especially if the military spouse is relocating to a new base. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through these complex decisions.

“I ran out of money to continue hiring her as my lawyer. I was forced to represent myself in a complicated child support case. Janet and Kym still helped me out with preparing a brief so that they didn’t dismiss the case. It’s nice to know there’s lawyers out there that care about you and your situation.”

“If you want an excellent attorney and wonderful staff to help you with any of your family law issues, Janet Boyd is the one to go to. She and Chris even came to the hospital in the middle of the night.  My mother had a medical emergency and the legal paperwork needed to be handled immediately. We are so glad she is on our side.”

“I tried to go at my child support case on my own for years and constantly received the short end of the stick. I went to Ms. Boyd with everything I had and she took my case surprisingly two days before the court day. She got the case continued and three months later I won the case. I was completely shocked at how the results came out. She knew what she was doing and went to bat for me with the facts. She is straight forward and honest. I highly recommended her, and her staff April and Kym are great as well. If she can help you, she will.”

- O.H.

“I had a tough divorce case that included property and lasted almost two years. Ms. Boyd was effective, and Kym was very helpful in all they did. I appreciate their help throughout the process.”
