Divorce for Military Personnel / Expats
Frequently Asked Questions
Military pensions, overseas property, and benefits must all be disclosed and properly valued. UK courts can divide military pensions as part of a financial settlement, but enforcement of orders abroad may require support from foreign lawyers or military bodies, such as Veterans UK or MOD schemes.
If children are involved, relocating or arranging contact across borders can be complex. You’ll likely need a UK Child Arrangements Order, and in some cases, a ‘mirror order’ in the country of residence. Moving a child without consent or a court order may be unlawful.
