Can I Share My Spouse’s Military Retirement?
If you get a military divorce, you may be entitled to a portion of your spouse’s retirement if you meet the 10/10 rule. The rule states that there must be at least 10 years of marriage which overlaps with 10 years of military service.
If My Military Pay Is Garnished, Can I Stop It?
Finding out that your military pay will be garnished is shocking. However, it’s important to understand that a garnishment is based on a court order. The only way you can put a stop to the garnishment is to get another court order that terminates it.
How Is Child Custody Determined in Washington?
In Washington, child custody can be awarded in several ways, depending on each parent’s parenting abilities and the unique needs of the child. The judge may look at several factors when determining child custody, such as the child’s relationship with each parent, the physical and mental health of each parent, each parent’s living situation and whether there is a history of domestic violence or abuse. For example, if one parent has a history of mental health problems, the judge may likely award primary custody to the other parent.
Does the Mother Automatically Get Custody?
No. While this might have been true decades ago, it is not the case today. Gender is not a factor considered in child custody cases. The judge will consider the best interests of the child when determining custody. If the father is a better fit, the judge will award custody to him.
How Does a Judge Determine Child Custody?
If you and your spouse are getting a divorce and have minor children together, you will have to decide on a custody arrangement. If you and your spouse are unable to come to an agreement on your own, a judge may make the decision for you. A judge may use several factors to determine custody, such as each parent’s physical and mental health, the child’s relationship with each parent, each parent’s history of making decisions for the child and the child’s preference.
How Long Does a Divorce Take?
A divorce is a stressful ordeal, so it is understandable that you may want to finalize it as soon as possible. However, an uncontested divorce will take a minimum of 90 days to finalize. If you have a contested divorce, you can expect the process to take longer.
