Family Law

Divorce is a sad reality of modern life in San Diego for both civilian and military families. Although the vast majority of people go into a marriage with the best of intentions, there are circumstances in life that drive apart the most committed, loving and responsible people.

When situations in a marriage reach a point where compromise is no longer possible, sometimes it is for the best that the two parties involved dissolve their relationship in the eyes of the law, including the Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act  (USFSPA). Depending on the nature of the situation, a divorce can be a simple process that takes a few months, or a complicated and heart-wrenching ordeal that drags on for years.

The experienced and dedicated San Diego divorce attorneys at the law firm of Higgs Fletcher & Mack understand that if you are considering ending your marriage, you are likely worried about how you can address a number of issues including:

• Division of property
• Division of debt
• Child Custody and Visitation
• Child Support
• Alimony and Spousal Support

Why you need to have a Divorce Attorney in San Diego

Divorce is a life-changing and irreversible decision that must be undertaken with the most serious mind. Trusting such a monumental choice to forms you can download off of the internet or a service that promises a streamlined and virtually effortless process can result in numerous unforeseen and expensive problems down the line.

For over 70 years, the San Diego divorce lawyers and military divorce attorneys at Higgs Fletcher & Mack have guided and represented people through this arduous process to equitable and just settlement. Our San Diego divorce lawyers understand how to anticipate issues that frequently occur in divorces, and the best ways to handle them as they arise.

Military Divorce in San Diego

Our San Diego military divorce lawyers know all too often that men and women serving in our country's armed forces have strains that most couples cannot imagine. When such a marriage must end, there are dozens of considerations that divorce attorneys that handle civilian cases are not usually prepared for, such as the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act  (USFSPA).

Our team of San Diego military divorce attorneys are ready and able to handle the special needs of military divorces, such as:

• Issues regarding military retired pay and disability payments
• Survivor benefits
• Divorce while deployed
• Child custody for currently serving military personnel
• Child support and Spousal support for currently serving military personnel
• Inconsistencies between California law, military law, and federal law

Furthermore, the San Diego military divorce lawyers at Higgs Fletcher & Mack understand the strains and sacrifice undertaken by our military personnel, and as such we take it upon ourselves to offer a significant discount on our fees to all servicemen and women that need them.

The attorneys at Higgs Fletcher & Mack also represent non-member spouses who are divorcing a military member in San Diego.
