Military Personnel Protect Our Country, but Marriages May Suffer Nevertheless
By Denver Divorce Lawyer on November 4, 2009
A recent examiner.com article discusses the unfortunate tendency for spouses of military personnel to grow so tiresome of their significant other’s deployment that divorce becomes a solution to the problem. The story cites another article from the Washington post that explains how the commanding officers of soldiers that find themselves on the verge of divorce have the ultimate say over whether or not the soldier is granted an emergency leave on the grounds of correcting problems at home, including a looming divorce.
Among the many reasons often cited for divorce amongst military families is a lack of interaction that a deployed soldier has with his or her spouse. Feelings of abandonment and loneliness may slowly creep up on unsuspecting spouses when their significant other is deployed overseas or even out of state. Child custody and other issues arise in many divorce proceedings, and child custody can often be difficult for a deployed soldier to contend with. In all cases where divorce seems like a likely possibility, and especially if children are involved, an individual’s best course of action is to retain the services of a skilled Denver child custody attorney who will see to it that all decisions made in regard to divorce are as equitable as possible for both parties involved.
According to the article, many states have passed laws preventing military deployment as being cited as a significant reason for seeking a divorce.
