Everyone has heard horror stories about divorces with spouses that are pitted against each other, dragging the divorce through court for years, and running up exorbitant legal bills to fight over every issue possible. Divorce mediation is the opposite of that horror story.
When one spouse is in the military (or when both are), additional legal issues come into play. Special rules apply in a military divorce regarding where to file a military divorce, how child and spousal support is calculated, how child custody is determined.
