Arizona Military Divorce Lawyers
Military Divorce in Arizona
The Arizona divorce laws are not different for people in the military seeking a divorce in Arizona. However, there are a separate set of guidelines which need to be followed in the case of a spouse who is either deployed or relocated.  Therefore, Military Divorces can be much more complicated to handle than a regular dissolution of marriage in Arizona. Additionally, the relocation of a military member (or deployment of a military member), does not stop divorce proceedings, though they can be delayed. Consulting with an Arizona Military Divorce Lawyer will help to clarify the issues that you may have when seeking a military divorce in Arizona.
Usually, spouses who are seeking divorce or are being divorced while in the military need an experienced Arizona family lawyer to assist them and fight on their behalf.. The Service members Civil Relief Act (SCRA) protects the rights of active duty service members who are unable to participate completely in divorce proceedings because of their military assignments. The act will also protect service members from receiving a default judgment and allows the service members up to 90 days after leaving active service to respond and defend themselves in divorce proceedings. Â
