No fault military divorce
The law firms in Pennsylvania can offer an uncontested, simple no-fault military divorce, subject to the following conditions –
- The applicant and / or the spouse must be in full time military service
- The applicant and / or the spouse must have lived in this state or have a military home of record in this state for minimum of the previous 6 months
The law firms offer a special paper which both the spouses have to sign. If the spouse is on full time military duty and the partners have lived separately for more than 2 years, still there exists a waiting period of 90 days. However, if the divorce is desired before this waiting period, the lawyer can assist the client if the spouse cooperates completely in person or by mail.
The No fault divorce for professionals in the United States Coast Guard, United States Marines, United States Navy, United States Air Force and United States Army is identical in most aspects to a no fault divorce of a civilian in this state. The only exception is when both partners accede that neither of them is at fault for the divorce. In this case, it is possible to save thousands of dollars.
As per the divorce law in this state, the spouses are not supposed to include aspects pertaining to the money, property or children in the divorce. Very few clients of law firms prepare a legally binding agreement covering children, real estate or personal property. Regarding these issues, if the spouses are in complete agreement with each other, then the court need not determine how to resolve these issues.
