Military divorce presents unique issues and difficulties. Not only are there potential relocation issues impacting custody and visitation, but issues pertaining to the division of marital assets, as well as jurisdictional issues, issues pertaining to "residence and domicile" and more. In a military divorce, there are not only state laws, but federal laws which may affect the outcome of litigation or negotiation, including the statutes enacted to protect military personnel and their spouses. Attorney Virginia Perry is not only experienced in military divorce, she wrote a series of articles which were published in the Family Law News, a peer review publication of the Family Law Section of the Virginia State Bar entitled "Costly Errors in Multi-State Military Divorce, or a Military Wife's Tale of Woe." Attorney Perry has also contributed to materials for a continuing legal education seminar conducted by another attorney in Tidewater, Virginia.
