EP 19: Breaking Down Military Divorce: Custody, Pay, and Court Jurisdiction

Military families face unique challenges when it comes to divorce, from frequent moves to deployments and complex benefit structures. In this episode of Behind The Case, attorneys Tina Campbell and Heather Ogier from Turner-Monahan PLLC talk about what makes military divorces different, and why careful planning is essential.

They explore how deployments can change custody decisions and why certain benefits can play a surprising role in the outcome of a case. Heather also clears up common misconceptions about the role of military legal offices, sharing why local representation is still crucial.

“Deployment changes everything for custody,” Tina explains. “There are special systems designed to keep families connected during those times.”

From retirement benefits to state jurisdiction issues, this episode uncovers the key factors every military family should understand, but there’s much more beneath the surface.
