–Sharing of retirement benefits. As a spouse of a military member, you may be entitled to a marital share of retirement benefits, such as the person’s pension. This is governed by the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act.
— Child custody. Due to the many issues regarding active duty and deployment, matters of child custody and visitation can be complex.
