Everything will be decided by a civilian court. Custody will be a big factor

Each states will have their own guidlines on custody and support.
If they both agree they can set up almost any agreement they want.

SGT (Join to see) - get an attorney who practices that type of law in the state the divorce petition was filed in. Each state is different

Look, 1. It is a civilian affair decided by the state of residence. 2. Only a state judge would know.

As many vets have mentioned, get a lawyer in the state where the divorce is being filed; preferably one experienced with military divorces. Every state is different but most evaluate individual income, custody (i.e. primary or joint), who's paying benefits (dental, health, life insurance, etc.) and childcare in determining child support. Find a local lawyer who's well established in the community. These lawyers tend to know most of the judges who'll hear the case.
