Can I file for a no fault divorce in the military?

Yes, you can file for a no fault divorce in the military in California. No fault divorces have become increasingly popular as a way to end marriages without assigning blame to either party. In the military, you can file for a no fault divorce, which is known as a “dissolution of marriage” or divorce under the California Family Code. A no fault divorce means that either party can file without having to give a reason. The process for filing a no fault divorce in the military is essentially the same as filing outside of the military. First, you and your spouse must agree on all issues related to child custody, child support, spousal support and division of assets. If you and your spouse are not able to agree, then you must file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. You and your spouse will then each have the opportunity to present your own arguments in court. If the court finds that you and your spouse agree on all issues, then the court will issue a Default Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage. This will legally end your marriage and allow you to move forward with your lives. If the court determines that you and your spouse have not agreed on all issues, it will issue a Decree of Dissolution which will issue a decision as to the division of assets and other marital issues. No fault divorces in the military are just as valid as any other type of divorce, and you can file for one without fear of repercussion. It’s important to remember, however, that filing a no fault divorce does not mean that there will be no-fault division of marital assets. If you’re considering filing for a no fault divorce in the military, it’s important to consult with a lawyer who can help guide you through the process.
