Solved

In military divorce, your retirement pay is typically divided per the 20/20/20 rule or other applicable state laws, and spousal support depends on factors such as the length of the marriage, earning capacity, and financial need. Her veterinary school plans and your flight school plans could affect support calculations.

I'd like to get a general idea of some potential financial outcomes in my case.

Lexi, Chatbot

I understand that you're looking for clarity on potential financial outcomes, which can be quite stressful. Can you please provide a brief overview of your case?

My wife and I have been married about 24.5 years. She has primarily been a stay-at-home mom. She has a bachelor's degree, and I have a master's degree. I am on active duty in the Air Force and plan to retire around 2028. She is planning to go to veterinary school, and I am planning to attend flight school when I retire. We have two children—one in college and one who will graduate from high school around the time of my retirement.

Lexi, Chatbot

What specific financial aspects are you most concerned about in this situation?

When we are divorced, I'm concerned about how much I will have to pay her. She will be in veterinary school, and I will be in flight school.

Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your divorce financial concerns.

No.
