As a career officer or enlisted member of the U.S. armed forces, it is not just retirement benefits that should be your chief concern during a dissolution. Community property you acquired with your spouse can also cause disagreement. Community property is virtually anything you obtained (including debt) during your marriage regardless of whose “name” it is under, this includes your house, vehicles, savings accounts, credit card debt, and much more. Whether you are the service member or spouse, facing divorce places retirement benefits at the top of the priority list for a fair division of marital property.
