MILITARY DIVORCE
JACKSONVILLE MILITARY DIVORCE LAWYER
The Willmott family has a
proud tradition of military service in this country and we take
great care to help military members or their spouses through a
divorce. Not only am I certified as an expert in divorce and family
law by the Florida Bar, I have extensive experience representing
military members and their spouses in Jacksonville and the
surrounding counties. No matter your rank or branch of service,
from carrier XO to air force colonel to seaman, it has been my
pleasure over the last sixteen years to serve those who serve our
great country. My office would also like to extend a warm welcome
to the courageous men and women on the USS George H. W. Bush.
Welcome to Jacksonville!
If you are a military member, my office can help you with and
answer questions about:
- What to do if you are deployed and served with divorce
papers
- What the "ten year rule" really means and how to protect your
retirement benefits
- How a divorce will affect your home and VA exemption
- Concurrent pay and VA disability and how they affect retirement
benefits
- Proper calculations of support based upon your BAH, BAS, and
special pays
If you are a military spouse, you probably have questions
about:
- Whether you keep your health insurance and other benefits after
you are divorced
- What are your retirement rights including qualified military
orders, Survivor
Benefit Plans, Thrift Savings Plans, and how VA disability can
affect your share
- What exactly you are entitled to under the "20/20/20" rule
- What you must do to protect your SBP after the divorce
- How to ensure that your children are protected with SGLI and
Tricare Benefits
A word of caution... military benefits are not understood by all
lawyers and the wrong lawyer can seriously compromise your rights,
especially where retirement is concerned. When hiring an attorney,
you and your family deserve a lawyer who is a Florida Bar certified
divorce expert.
I represent both men and women and expect that the Court will
treat both equally. I represent military and other families in
Duval, Clay, Nassau, St. Johns, and Baker Counties. If you are out
of country or state, we can often help you over the phone and
through email. We can also discuss your appearance by phone at
court hearings.
Feel free to email or give me a call. I do not charge a
consultation fee so it costs nothing for us to talk and for you to
learn your rights. I am confident that after we speak, I will have
the pleasure of helping you and your family.
