Deployment places significant demands on a family. Extended separations, missed milestones, and the challenge of managing a household from a distance are realities many service members and their spouses know well. When a marriage ends, these existing pressures can make the process feel especially difficult.

Military divorce involves considerations that civilian cases do not. Division of military pensions, eligibility for benefits, jurisdiction and residency requirements, and parenting plans that accommodate deployments and PCS relocations all require careful attention. Understanding how these factors apply to your situation is an important step toward a resolution that protects you.

Fall sports season means packed weekends: early practices, Saturday games, and a lot of driving. For co parenting families, it can also mean a lot of questions about who handles what.

The good news is that a clear parenting schedule can take the pressure off. When both households know the game plan ahead of time, your child gets to focus on the sport, and both parents get to be there for the moments that matter.

If your current custody arrangement isn't keeping up with the season, it may be worth reviewing. A conversation now can save a lot of sideline confusion later.

Divorce can bring significant changes for a family, but creating stability can help children adjust and feel supported.

When children split time between two homes, consistent routines, open communication, and a cooperative co-parenting approach can make transitions easier. Keeping schedules organized and putting your child’s needs first can help them feel secure during this new chapter.

A new school year brings new routines, schedules, and responsibilities, and successful co-parenting starts with clear communication.

Taking time to coordinate school schedules, transportation, extracurricular activities, and important dates can help create a smoother transition for your child and reduce unnecessary stress.

If your current parenting plan no longer meets your family's needs, Torchin Martel Orr is here to help you explore your legal options and work toward a solution that's in your child's best interests.
