Divorcing and deployment – We’ve got you covered wherever you are
Starting divorce proceedings is never easy, but for those serving in the military, the process can seem even more daunting, especially if deployment is on the horizon.
As a family team, specialising in supporting the divorce of armed forces personnel, we understand the unique challenges that deployment can bring.
The simple answer is yes, you can. To fulfil a divorce, you do not need to be physically present in the country. Whether you are stationed overseas short-term or long-term, our team can manage everything remotely.
At Wilkin Chapman Rollits we know deployment raises additional challenges such as, unpredictable schedules, limited internet access and time zone differences. We have tailored services available to assist you including video conferencing, digital document signing and flexible communication through email or text.
Your personal life doesn’t need to be put on hold just because you’re deployed. Since the introduction of ‘no-fault’ divorces, the entire English and Welsh divorce system has moved online. This means that your application, communications, and progression through your divorce occurs completely electronically with all stages being managed digitally.
We support numerous service personnel who are deployed all over the world through divorce proceedings and the associated resolution of financial matters. We understand the nuances of military payslips, the complexities of the Armed Forces Pension Scheme, the uncertainty and unpredictability of military life and the potential need for relocation. Divorces are a difficult time for anyone, but we are here to make the process as manageable as possible, wherever and whenever duty calls.
