San Antonio Property Division Lawyer

Property issues in military divorces are much more complex than in most civil divorces because of the federal laws governing military pensions and the distribution of property pursuant to a divorce.

Property Distribution Issues for Military Divorces in Texas

There are many complex issues related to the distribution of property in a military divorce. In a military divorce, as in a non-military divorce, there are issues regarding classification of marital and separate property and valuation of property.

Classification issues can be complex when property such as a house or car is originally obtained with non-marital funds, or owned prior to a marriage, but then marital funds are used to make payments on the property itself or for improvement of the property. Valuation issues also can be complex if one of the parties owns their own business or is a minority shareholder in a closed corporation. In addition, it may be difficult to value property such as stock options, insurance policies, pension plans, art and collectables.

In addition to non-military divorce issues, the military presents its own set of unique issues, including the following:

  • Military retirement
  • Domestic Relations Orders (DRO)
  • Survivor benefit plans
  • Property located in different states
  • USFSPA issues
