Military retirement refers to the retirement pay and related benefits earned by military service members that may be subject to division in a divorce. Federal law under the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act governs how states can treat military retirement.

The community interest in military retirement is generally calculated based on the years of creditable service during the marriage as a fraction of total creditable service at retirement.

Military retirement division involves unique complexity. Reserve and National Guard retirement, disability pay, VA benefits, and the interaction between disability compensation and retired pay all require specific analysis.
