The division of military retirement benefits is complicated and should not be done without the assistance of an attorney. Important aspects that need to be understood include:
- Cost of living adjustments (COLA)
- Court Order Acceptable for Processing (COAP)
- Survivor benefits
- Promotion structures
- Value of marital assets
On Active Duty?
You do not have to be present in Ohio to obtain a divorce. In a dissolution or divorce, both parties are required to appear. However, if you are on active duty you can file for an uncontested divorce. In an uncontested divorce, the parties have to agree on the issues of property division, debt distribution, child custody, spousal support or child support, but both parties do not have to appear before the court for the divorce to be final.
