Military Divorce
New Jersey Military Divorce Lawyer
If you or your spouse is a member of the armed services stationed at McGuire Air Force Base, Fort Dix, Lake Hurst Naval Air Station or another military installation in Southern New Jersey, Begelman, Orlow & Melletz is ready to handle all of your family law needs. Our lead attorney, Paul Melletz, has been representing U.S. military personnel for nearly 45 years.
"Military families have most of the same legal worries and problems that other members of our society have. But special considerations about property and pension benefits means that your lawyer will need experience handling military divorce cases. Very few family law attorneys in South Jersey have that kind of experience. I have been proudly representing the needs of military personnel in New Jersey family law courts for nearly 45 years." Paul Melletz
Our firm has extensive experience handling the special legal needs of service members:
- Military allotments
- Military pension valuation and distribution
- Child support calculations
- Equitable distribution of property
Moved to Another Duty Station or Deployed Overseas?
Our firm is recognized for our flexibility and commitment to helping military families get the legal services they need. If you or your spouse is stationed overseas, we can generally handle all legal matters in your absence. In cases where you are required to attend, the hearing can be delayed until your return to the States.
We handle all family law matters for military personnel:
- Divorce
- Child custody and visitation
- Alimony and child support
- Domestic violence restraining orders
- Pre- and post-marital agreements
- Post-judgment modifications
