You've been deployed for some time, and you didn't expect to have to deal with more than is already on your plate. Unfortunately, your spouse at home decided that now is the perfect time for them to file for divorce.
If you're deploying, should you make a new custody plan?
You and your spouse have both been in the military your entire relationship. When you decided to have a child, you knew it would be difficult and could add an element of stress to your lives.
Who really needs a prenuptial agreement?
If you haven't thought about getting a prenuptial agreement, you might think that you don't really need one. Perhaps you and your partner don't have many assets or don't think that you're wealthy enough to need a prenuptial agreement.
A stay just might put your divorce on hold
A military divorce isn't always simple. Sometimes, there are delays, and you might be frustrated with the whole process. For example, you might file for divorce in January, but if your spouse leaves on duty in February, you might end up with a stay. A stay will prevent any rulings until they can appear in court (in most cases). Courts can extend those stays in some cases, or they can ask for appointed counsel to appear on behalf of the service member.
