When you are in the military, there may be added pressures involved that could potentially lead to a breakdown of the relationship.
Although the legal process of divorce is the same, there are often more complexities involved, such as military pensions, complex child arrangements and matters regarding child or spousal maintenance.
We understand this can be a difficult time, which is why our team of Solicitors are on hand to provide bespoke advice, tailored specifically to your individual needs and requirements. We offer a 10% reduction on our hourly rates for serving members of the military and have also created a series of fixed-price consultation meetings with a no questions asked money-back guarantee promise.Request a callback

Military pensions
Military pensions differentiate from other pensions and in some cases, they may be the primary asset in a marriage.
There are a variety of different types of pensions available to members of the military, therefore it is important that you seek professional advice before deciding how to proceed with your divorce.
Our divorce solicitors will be able to offer you advice on the following:
- Military pension attachment orders: where a set amount is agreed and paid out regularly to the former spouse
- Military pension offsetting: where the member of the armed forces retains the value of their pension, and the spouse receives a larger share of the matrimonial assets
- Military pension sharing orders: where a former spouse of the service personnel is included in their pension scheme upon divorce
The option which will be most suitable for you will depend on your individual circumstances, the length of your marriage, and whether you require the capital now or later.

Child arrangements
Due to the nature of military life, child arrangements can differ significantly in comparison to a civilian divorce.
As military personnel can be deployed at any time, it is important that you have suitable child arrangements to provide stability and continuity for your child or children.
If you are experiencing difficulties with your former partner or are finding it challenging to agree on contact times and arrangements, then our solicitors can help you and your former spouse work together to create an arrangement.
If you or your former partner have been posted abroad and you decide to divorce or separate, this could mean that your children may not be able to continue living in service accommodation or even in the same country as one parent.

Delivering excellent results
Calm, professional and communicative
Ammarah Balouch’s guidance and preparation made the first hearing much more manageable. From the start, she was well-prepared and communicated clearly, explaining each stage, so I knew what to expect. Because the case involved my daughter, it was emotionally challenging for me. However, Ammarah remained calm and professional throughout. She ensured the key points were clearly articulated and kept the discussion focused on my daughter’s best interests. Her practical advice, steady support, and responsive communication reduced my stress and boosted my confidence. Following the hearing, we achieved a significant milestone in establishing contact with my daughter, which had previously been made difficult by my ex-wife. This outcome highlighted the effectiveness of Ammarah’s approach and preparation, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone needing support in a family matter.

Kind and supportive throughout
Following my initial consultation with Fullers Family Law I chose Fullers to manage my Divorce proceedings and my Financial Matters / Financial Remedy. In all aspects of my case Fullers Family Law have been excellent. I must however specifically mention Asia who has handled my financial matters and been a tower of strength through a most difficult time. I have found Asia to be calm, confident, highly knowledgeable, efficient and honest with a kind and reassuring manner even when I doubted a fair and reasonable settlement was possible. Throughout the process which, through absolutely no fault on Asia`s part, resulted in the case going before the Courts. Asia was professional, supportive, caring and provided clear, realistic advice and guidance. I am absolutely certain that without Asia I would not have been able to secure what I consider to be a very fair and reasonable settlement. I can genuinely recommend Fullers Family Law and specifically Asia Razaq-Miah.

Outstanding attention to detail
I had the pleasure of working with Reena Bhanderi for my divorce case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the beginning, Reena was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate, guiding me through what was a very challenging time. She took the time to explain every step of the process in clear terms, always ensuring that I felt informed and supported. Her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best outcome for me was outstanding. Reena was always responsive, and her calm and reassuring approach made a difficult situation much easier to manage. I am extremely grateful for her expertise and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a solicitor. Thank you, Reena, for your excellent work!
