American soldiers who are serving their country overseas have so much to worry about — like keeping their fellow soldiers safe, keeping themselves safe and keeping their wits about them to perform their duties clearly and effectively. Throwing divorce proceedings into the mix, when one’s spouse is far away, can be heart-wrenching and extremely destabilizing for a soldier who is already under a great deal of stress as it is.
Nevertheless, for soldiers overseas, getting your divorce over and done with as quickly as possible — so it’s no longer affecting your concentration — could be essential to your safety and success. Contrary to popular understanding, deployed soldiers can complete their entire divorce without setting foot in the United States. There is no need wait, and there is no need to push your need for divorce into the background.
