Military Retirement Benefit Division
There is one significant difference between a military divorce and a civilian divorce. The division of military retirement benefits in divorce is guided by the Uniformed Services Former Spouse's Protection Act (USFSPA). State courts manage the division of military retirement benefits according to USFSPA guidelines. The amount awarded to the nonmilitary spouse varies depending on the length of the marriage, the number of years of military service, and the number of years those two factors overlapped.
