Did you know . . .
that a divorced parent must give the other parent written notice before moving? If the move will “significantly affect” the other parent’s contact with the children, the notice has to be given at least 30 days in advance and must be given by personal service or certified mail.
For a sample Notice of Intent to Move form, visit the Law Library’s Child Custody page. For more information, please visit the Families and Kids section of MontanaLawHelp.org. If you can’t find the information you want, click on the LiveHelp button. Or call the Montana Legal Services Association HelpLine at 1 (800) 666-6899.

The Military Divorce Handbook: A Practical Guide to Representing Military Personnel and Their Families
by Mark E. Sullivan
639 pages
Date of publication: 2006
From the publisher’s (American Bar Association’s) website:
This is a timely and much-needed addition to a family lawyer’s library. Both comprehensive and practical, The Military Divorce Handbook covers all aspects of representing servicemembers and their spouses in divorce.Military personnel are involved in the same domestic situations as civilians’ divorce, separation, custody, support, and division of property. Yet when a divorce action involves a military client, there are special issues that arise which make these cases more difficult. The Military Divorce Handbook guides you through the complexities of all aspects of representing military personnel or their spouses to help you provide competent and thorough representation for your client. Key chapters explain the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), military tax issues, and the important issue of dividing military retirement benefits. Also, covered are the difficult and increasingly important issues of custody and domestic violence involving servicemembers.
Explaining complex issues in clear, current and concise language, The Military Divorce Handbook also features numerous Practice Tips throughout the text. The handbook includes a glossary, table of cases, and comprehensive index, as well as a CD-ROM with forms and additional background material.
Handling divorce and family law cases involving servicemembers has never been timelier. As a result of the large number of recent National Guard and Reserve mobilizations, these complex issues will affect nearly all family lawyers, not just those whose practices are located near major military bases. Furthermore, due to the Pentagon overseas basing plans, more and more of these servicemembers will be stationed back in the United States in the future. The knowledge contained in this handbook is essential for family law practitioners in order to provide professional representation for the servicemember or spouse as a client.
