Military Divorce

Members of the Armed Forces

As a member of the military, you are subject to the same set of divorce laws as civilians. However, you are also subject to a set of special laws that accompany military divorce. At the law office of Mindi Lasley, P.A., we represent armed forces members who are either seeking or going through a divorce.

With an office located in Tampa, Florida, we can effectively represent any member of the military, particularly those members of the U.S. Air Force stationed at MacDill Air Force Base (AFB). Contact us to schedule an appointment to speak with a lawyer about your military divorce.

Our firm represents and advises clients on all legal issues related to military divorce, including child support, alimony, child custody, visitation, and property division. As a firm focusing on military family law, we can answer our client's many questions, including:

• What occurs when neither spouse is a resident of the state of Florida?
• How does the court deal with visitation and custody issues when a spouse is stationed overseas?
• How do the military and the court divide military pensions, benefits, and other forms of compensation?
• Can a person file a divorce when a spouse is on active duty overseas?
• What is "adequate support" as required by Air Force Instruction 36-2906?

As in a civilian divorce, emotions can also cloud a person's ability to make rational decisions in a military divorce. We understand that clients need someone who will listen to their problems, and provide them with a frank assessment of their situation. While we empathize with our clients' concerns, we do not hesitate to provide them with honest advice.

While a military divorce involves most of the same matters as a civilian divorce, it also has a special set of issues which need to be separately addressed by a qualified attorney. Contact Mindi Lasley, P.A. to schedule an appointment to discuss your divorce concerns. We represent clients throughout Florida, including those in Clearwater, Brandon, Palm Harbor, Largo, and St. Petersburg. Please call 813-873-9047.
