Do you have a story you’d like to share on TWTDNH or are you a subject matter expert who would like to shed light on any of the topics I cover? Shoot me a message!

How does the intersection of military law and state family law impact the rights and protections available to military spouses? And do you lose your TRICARE after divorce?

I invited attorney Amanda J. Hill to cut through the confusion and reveal the hidden complexities of military divorces. She exposes little-known facts about on-base housing rights, custody during deployments, and a potential TRICARE loophole that could save you thousands.

Amanda doesn't shy away from tough topics and addresses domestic violence in military families and the career-altering impact of protective orders. Learn why your social media could make or break your case, and discover the surprising document that could protect you if you give your marriage another shot.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How military law and state family law work together.
  • Legal and financial protections for military spouses in abusive relationships.
  • How to get protective orders.
  • Why keeping records of coercive control and non-physical abuse is important.
  • Legal options for child safety and custody in volatile situations.
  • What a postnuptial agreement should include to protect your interests.
  • Strategies for accessing legal resources and support with limited financial means.

Ideas Worth Sharing:

  • “It is codified under the family code that if you allow your child to witness abuse, that in and of itself is child abuse.” - Amanda J. Hill
  • “In the state of California, you have an absolute right to remain in the marital home until the divorce is final.” - Amanda J. Hill
  • "I highly recommend that both sides have their own counsel representing them reviewing the document before it gets executed and making sure that both sides are being protected and it really is something that they agree with." - Amanda J. Hill
