Re: Retied militay pay, divorce, Disability

Anything owned by you prior to the marriage is your separate property. It is very possible that there is no community property that she would get half of, however, a more thorough review of you circumstances is necessary. Call me a 800-FAMLAW5 and I can go over the details more completely. I would suggest that you will sleep better when you know what your rights and responsibilities are. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
