La Mesa Military Divorce Lawyer

Serving El Cajon, Lemon Grove & the Surrounding Areas

When it comes to divorce involving a member of the military, it is advised that you seek legal counsel from an experienced La Mesa divorce attorney. I have been providing legal representation to Southern California residents for over 25 years. By combining years of experience with extensive knowledge of divorce proceedings and family law, I am able to help you navigate through the complexities of military divorce.

Much like a conventional, civilian divorce, the process of a military divorce involves the following steps:

  • The petitioner decides on how to end the marriage (divorce, legal separation, or annulment)
  • Paperwork must be filed by the petitioner
  • The petitioner has someone serve the forms to the spouse, now called "the respondent"
  • The respondent can contest the divorce if he or she so chooses
  • If the respondent does not contest, then the courts can end the marriage
  • If the respondent contests the divorce, then other legal steps must take place
  • Additional legal steps include an exchange of financial documents for the judge's consideration

You deserve quality counsel and compassionate, personalized attention during your divorce. Call my office at (619) 304-8499 to discover how I can help you.

Serving a Spouse on Base, Overseas & Stateside

With a military divorce, the location of one or both spouses can make it difficult to approach a divorce in the first place. If the spouse lives off-base, then the process follows much the same as a civilian divorce. The individual can be served the forms by a person over the age of 18 who is not connected with the case. If the spouse lives on base, a process server or sheriff can serve the papers. In situations where the spouse is stationed overseas, the individual can be served by certified mail with return receipt.

This situation can be difficult to manage, which is why I make my legal services readily available to individuals who are seeking a divorce. As your La Mesa military divorce lawyer, I will work closely with you to make sure your needs and addressed and every detail of your divorce is handled to the letter.

To learn how I can help you with a military divorce, or for any other questions, please give me a call at (619) 304-8499.

    "Amazing!"

    Amazing! Even though she wasn’t able to take my case (which is understandable) she was very helpful by referring me to someone who could assist me. She still took her time out to make sure I was in good hands and to get the help that is needed. Very satisfied.

    - DeAsia L.
    "Thank you Andrea!"
    I'm in search for a divorce attorney that will not drag out a case unnecessarily and that will strive for out-of-court settlements, so when I came across Andrea Schneider's website and read how she approaches each case, I was very impressed. So I contacted Andrea instantly and left her a message after hours. To my surprise, she replied to me that same evening. Unfortunately, Andrea isn't taking any new divorce cases at this time but she definitely didn't hesitate in referring me to two other attorneys. Andrea is a very professional, organized, and caring attorney! Thank you Andrea!
