Texas Retirement Benefits ∙ Attorney for Military Service Members

Military retirement benefits are frequently the biggest issues that arise in a divorce involving members of the armed forces. Not only are retirement benefits typically the largest asset owned by the couple, in many cases, they are the only asset of any significant value. Controversy can arise regarding the division of military benefits at the time of divorce — and frequently at the time of commencement of military retirement pay, especially if the divorce agreement or divorce decree is not drafted carefully.

When an individual is a member of the military, the individual's spouse is entitled to share in military retirement pay and other military retirement benefits, regardless of the length of the marriage. However, in certain situations, such as if the military service member becomes disabled and elects to receive Veterans Administration disability benefits in exchange for military disability benefits (in which case, military retirement pay is reduced), the spouse of the military service member may face reduction in military retirement pay.
