If You Are on Active Duty, You Need a Family Care Plan
The Department of Defense (DOD) requires that all single-service members and dual-service couples have a Family Care Plan. The plan specifically outlines child custody arrangements in the service member’s absence. Our skilled military divorce attorneys can help you understand Family Care Plans and answer any questions you may have. It is important to remember that Family Care Plans do not take rights from the other party — they simply exercise the soldier’s rights while they are on active duty. This is why service members should obtain a custody order to fully protect their rights.
Kirk Stange authored a chapter in a book on military divorce through Aspatore Publishing called Strategies for Military Family Law: Leading Lawyers on Navigating Family Law in the Armed Forces. View portions of the chapter by clicking the link above.
