While some issues in a military divorce
are the same as those in the civilian sector, others are governed by federal statutes, not state laws. For this
reason, representation by an experienced military divorce attorney can make a difference in the outcome of the
case. At Edwards & Associates, we understand that a military divorce case has unique characteristics. Our firm
has successfully represented service members stationed all over the world and we will work to achieve a positive
outcome for you.
Always Available for You
Our firm has represented service members throughout the U.S.,
in Iraq and in other posts around the world without their having to return to the U.S. for hearings. We communicate
by electronic means and by phone with clients. With our paperless office, clients can view all of the pleadings
and documents relating to their case at any time over the Internet. We will keep you informed of important developments
in your case and respond promptly to your questions and concerns. Throughout the entire legal process, you will
never be out of touch with us.
Unique Aspects of Military Divorce
If
you wish to hold off on your case, federal law allows us to file a stay of all court proceedings until the service
member wishes to continue. Our attorneys understand those unique aspects of military divorce cases, such as the
right to military pension and military benefits. At the same time, we are experienced family law attorneys and
are sensitive to the personal needs of our clients, their concern for their children and the stress of the divorce
process. We will use the law, our knowledge, and our experience to achieve your goals and protect your rights
at all times.
We Understand Military Life
Our attorneys and staff understand the realities
of the military experience. Attorney Regina I. Edwards is an Army "brat" whose father attended West Point
and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel prior to his retirement. We understand the distinctive characteristics
of military life and service and how it relates to family law cases.
