Frequently Asked Questions

Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates for educational purposes only. Military retirement division in divorce is complex and requires careful drafting of court orders to ensure DFAS compliance. The 2017 Frozen Benefit Rule significantly changed pension division rules for divorces after December 23, 2016. Consult with an attorney experienced in military divorce before finalizing any property settlement or divorce decree. This tool is not legal advice.
