Military FAQs — Arabic Lawyer Answers
Can my spouse delay the divorce because they are deployed?
Yes. The SCRA allows active-duty service members to request a stay (delay) of civil court proceedings, including divorce, for up to 90 days. Additional delays may be granted. However, this does not prevent you from filing.
Am I entitled to my spouse's military pension?
Military pensions are divisible as marital property. The portion you may receive depends on the length of marriage overlapping military service. The 10/10 rule applies to direct payments from DFAS, but state courts can order any equitable division.
