How do I obtain support from my spouse in a military divorce?

In Nebraska, support in a military divorce is usually determined through a court order. According to the Nebraska Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act, a court must consider the potential for the military spouse to deploy or be transferred when determining support. The court will also examine the military spouse’s rank, pay grade, length of service, and other elements of the military spouse’s compensation package when making a determination about support. The court will also consider the dependant needs of the non-military spouse, and any agreement that the couple has reached regarding support. To obtain support from your spouse in a military divorce in Nebraska, the first step is to file for divorce. After you file, you can work with your attorney to obtain a court order for support. Generally, support payments will be made through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service if the court order is approved. In some cases, support payments can be paid directly from the military spouse, depending on the terms of the order. Payments can be made either by direct deposit, paper check, or a prepaid card. Your attorney can help you understand the details of your order and assist with payment collection.
