The Richardson Firm

About The Richardson Firm

Because so many of our clients are military personnel or spouses, we pay special attention to military issues in asset division (along with custody and spousal support). Military retirements, Thrift Savings Plans (TSP’s), and accrued leave are divided in the equitable distribution process along with the non-military property, debts, and assets. Many have the common misconception that the parties need to be married for ten years for a spouse to have property rights in the other spouse’s military retirement, accrued leave, or TSP, but this is false. Ten years is only relevant to how the spouse’s portion is paid (whether from the service member or from the military). If the parties were not together for ten years, the non-military spouse can still receive his or her share of the servicemember’s retirement, TSP or accrued leave.

The Richardson Firm takes each of these. Pick yours and the evaluation starts there.
