One of the biggest issues in military divorce is dividing the military pension. At Barina Law Group in Temple, we help both service members and spouses understand their rights under federal and Texas law.

The Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act (USFSPA) allows Texas courts to divide military retired pay as marital property. That doesn’t mean automatic 50/50. Factors include:

  • Length of the marriage
  • Overlap of service time and marriage (the “10/10 rule” for DFAS direct payments)
  • Type of retirement (active duty vs. reserve)

We also address:

  • Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) elections
  • Disability pay exclusions
  • Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) division

Whether you are keeping your benefits or seeking your share, our Temple-based team builds a clear strategy that protects your long-term interests.
