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.

Andrea worked with me prior to my birth and then right after I had my son to come up with a custody agreement/parenting plan. She was timely and processional and brainstormed ways in which to approach the agreement . She was great! I'm happy we got a chance to work together. The outcome was favorable for me.
