Prenups for Military Families

Military life brings unique complexities. For service members, a prenup isn't just smart—it's essential for your family's future.

Military service comes with valuable benefits: retirement pay, pensions, healthcare, and survivor benefits. Without a prenup, these assets can become entangled in a divorce, putting your hard-earned benefits at risk. Additionally, military marriages often face unpredictable circumstances, including deployments, overseas assignments, and long separations. A prenup will bring clarity by outlining how assets, debts, and property will be divided if the marriage ends, reducing uncertainty for those whose lives are mired in conflict. Here’s how First stands ready to support our military heroes in the best way we know how.

Special Provisions for Military-Specific Concerns

Using First’s lawyer-supported product, users can work with their lawyer to customize their prenup pursuant to concerns related to their service. This may include:

Retirement and pension rights
Survivor and disability benefits
Deployment provisions
GI Bill and educational benefits
Power of attorney for financial and legal matters during deployment

These clauses are designed to protect both service members and their families, no matter where or when duty calls.

Reducing Stress and Legal Complications in Case of Divorce

Divorce can be especially challenging for military families, with one or both spouses potentially deployed or stationed far from home. A prenup streamlines the process, minimizing court involvement and emotional strain, allowing you to focus on your mission and your family.

Open Communication and Financial Transparency

Drafting a prenup encourages honest conversations about finances, expectations, and future plans. This transparency fosters trust and alignment: key ingredients for a strong, resilient marriage that withstands the test of existential risk and global conflict.
