April is officially recognized as Month of the Military Child. There are more than 1.6 million military children who face many challenges and unique experiences as a result of their parents' service. In fact, the entire family is faced with challenges when a member serves in the military so we are re-releasing this wonderful episode from the archive with Kristina Kaiser to help shed light on the sacrifices that families and children make to support our military. For more information on the Month of the Military Child visit: https://www.defense.gov/Spotlights/Month-of-the-Military-Child/
We often remember to honor those who serve, and rightly so, but the family members, especially the spouses of our active military members also make sacrifices in the name of our country and deserve our thanks as well. In honor of Military Family Appreciation Month, Kristina Kaiser, herself the former wife for almost 30 years of a Marine officer, gives an insider view into the many ways that our military families give of themselves, often to their detriment, while a family member is in active service. Facing many moves and relocations, job limitations, unpaid volunteer work expectancies, co-parenting alone and more, the spouses and children of military personnel also can be affected by the military life. Beyond that, divorce can be extra complicated when an active or former member of the military is involved. The pensions, benefits and more that are one of the highlights of military careers are limited in some ways in being divided during the divorce process and the non-military spouse may end up receiving less than the might have if they were not dealing with military benefits. Whether you are a member of the military, a military family member or one of those who owe them our thanks, this episode is a wonderful reminder of all they sacrifice for their country and why those thanks are deserved!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This episode is meant to honor our military families and to give a glimpse of the hardships and sacrifices that they make for out country. We mention some of the issues that can arise in a military divorce but if you are divorcing and military benefits are at issue, it is strongly advised that you seek counsel from an attorney in your area who is well-versed in military benefit in divorce.
