Legal Resources for Military Families

Chimere Chisolm-Trimble, Esq • August 4, 2025

Military families face unique challenges when it comes to family law matters. Whether it’s divorce, child custody, or spousal support, military families must navigate the complexities of both Georgia state law and federal regulations. Fortunately, there are legal resources specifically tailored to support military families in Georgia.


Military families often face issues related to jurisdiction, as service members may be stationed in different states or countries. Understanding how military service affects legal proceedings, such as divorce or custody battles, is essential. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) offers certain protections to service members, including the ability to delay legal proceedings during periods of active duty.


There are also resources available through the Department of Defense (DoD) that can help military families address family law issues. Military legal assistance offices provide free legal advice and representation to service members and their families, including on matters like divorce, child support, and custody. These offices can also offer guidance on military-specific considerations, such as how deployment or relocation impacts family law cases.



In addition to military legal assistance, there are various civilian attorneys in Georgia who specialize in military family law. These attorneys can help military families navigate the unique aspects of their cases, ensuring that service members' rights are protected while also addressing the needs of their families.
