What Makes Military Divorce In New Jersey Different From Civilian Divorce?
Military divorce combines state family law with federal statutes. Several factors distinguish these cases from civilian divorces:

- Servicemembers Civil Relief Act protections: Active duty members may request a stay of proceedings during deployment, although temporary support orders can still be issued.
- Division of military retirement: The Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act governs how retirement pay may be divided and whether DFAS can issue direct payments under the 10/10 rule.
