Active duty service members experiencing separation may be required to provide support even before the filing of divorce with a civilian court. This is called Financial Support and refers to the amount that you may be required to pay to support your dependents following a separation and during the pendency of the civilian divorce case.

Obviously, this can be a real problem for our Service Members.

The amount of Financial Support varies by branch, but is generally set by your command as opposed to a civilian Court order. Failure to follow Financial Support orders can result in major financial and employment burdens on the Service Member, as well as punishment under the UCMJ.

Active Duty members require competent and knowledgeable representation familiar with the special circumstances surrounding Military Financial Support as well as an attorney who can handle their Alabama Divorce case.

Phillips Legal LLC can both help you with your civilian divorce case and navigate your Military Divorce & Custody issues and communicate directly with your command to ensure that you are not unjustly ordered to pay a debilitating amount of Financial Support.
