Certified Family Law Specialist* Serving the San Diego County Area
Marital settlement agreements involving interstate custody issues are complex matters. It is common for judges from the respective states to discuss the facts they need to know in order to make the crucial decision about which state's divorce laws will apply. As such it is important to ensure the courts receive all the relevant information required to apply and enforce UCCJEA jurisdiction, especially in a military divorce.
With over 16 years of sound legal advice and representation to draw from, I can help you understand how the UCCJEA impacts your divorce. Together we can explore the strategies and options for:
- Child custody and visitation rights
- Child support and DCSS/interstate support
- Property Division
- Spousal support
Proudly Serving Those Who Serve Our Country
UCCJEA plays a major role in military family law, particularly in child custody problems involving military members stationed across the country and or deployed overseas. I know the special considerations my military clients need, e.g. where they may file for divorce and the child's home state (where they have lived for six consecutive months prior to the start of divorce proceedings).
Contact me today for a free consultation about analyzing your UCCJEA considerations in an interstate divorce. I accept major credit cards and other convenient payment plans are available.
