Family Law Attorney Shelly Kennedy: Experienced, Tough, Effective
When military members are involved, the divorce process may be more complex. On the other hand, military personnel may be granted longer response times in family law courts. The military has its own rules regarding family support, property division, survivorship benefits, medical benefits and custody and visitation. It is extremely important to hire a lawyer who understands the interplay between state and military law and knows how military rules affect the divorce process.
Issues unique to military divorce include:
- Determining which courts have jurisdiction
- Initiating and responding to legal requests while one spouse is deployed
- Forced parental relocation due to stationing changes and deployment
- Child custody and visitation while one parent is deployed
- Dividing military pensions
- Determining medical and survivorship benefits after a divorce
- Spousal support and child support determinations involving military pay structure
Attorney Shelly Kennedy has more than 25 years of legal experience. Over the course of her career, she has represented numerous clients during divorce, child custody disputes and other family law issues in which military rules are involved.
