Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

Mississippi Military Divorce

Been married 13 years with 18 years creditable military service and still on active duty. I know military retirement pay can be treated and divided as property. What formula is used in Mississippi for dividing? And is this set in stone or can a judge deviate from this if I do not agree and go to trial?

Re: Mississippi Military Divorce

There are at least three different ways to calculate the former spouse's retirement interest. For a discussion, check out the DFAS Link:
