Dear Colleague:
I am pleased to announce that I will be speaking in an upcoming Strafford live phone/web seminar, "Military Divorce: Identifying, Obtaining and Introducing Military Financial Documents as Evidence" scheduled for Thursday, March 28, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT.
In military divorce, counsel must understand the documents necessary to gain a full picture of the parties' financial status and marital estate. Recognizing which documents to obtain, how to get them, how to read the information, and how to introduce the documents into evidence are key.
Documentation of military and retired pay, reserve component retirement points, accrued leave, elections for the survivor benefit plan, and notification of eligibility for retirement for a guard/reserve member are critical. Counsel must be familiar with how to obtain documents through court order or subpoena.
My fellow panelists and I will prepare family law counsel to identify the documents that family law practitioners need for military divorce cases. The panel will explain how to obtain, understand and use the documents--and how to introduce the documents into evidence.
We will offer our perspectives and guidance on these and other critical questions:
- What documents are necessary to understand military pay and retired pay?
- What are the most effective ways to obtain documents through court order or subpoena from DFAS, other retired pay center (Coast Guard, Public Health Service, NOAA), the reserve headquarters or state adjutant general's office, or other military agency?
- How should counsel introduce government documents into evidence?
After our presentations, we will engage in a live question and answer session with participants - so we can answer your questions about these important issues directly.
I hope you'll join us.
