The Following Questions and More Will be Covered in This Webinar
– What is the Survivor Benefit Plan?
– How much does it cost, how are premiums paid, and what are the benefits?
– Is there anything which would disqualify the spouse from coverage?
– Is it automatic, or do you have to request coverage?
– Can the servicemember effectively oppose the award of SBP and if so, how is this done?
– How can the spouse ensure that the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) is not omitted?
– If it is lost, can Servicemember Group Life Insurance replace it?
– If SBP is ordered, can the court require the spouse who receives it to pay for it?

The Thrift Savings Plan is the military equivalent of a 401(k) plan.
– How is it divided?
– What are the choices for the spouse or former spouse?
– What’s the order which accomplishes the division?
– Can you “freeze” the TSP while division is pending?
– Dealing with military divorce issues has just turned into “life in the fast lane”, or if you make a mistake, “life in the oncoming lane”. These two subjects can help clarify the choices for the client and the attorney in a military divorce matter.
