Operation Firing For Effect (OFFE), The Veterans Advocacy Group is advising all military personnel to file a Premarital (Prenuptial) Agreement before getting married.
According to OFFE, it has become routine for civil court judges to award a significant portion of a disabled veteran’s disability compensation to the ex-spouse as alimony/support. Most family court judges and attorneys consider veteran’s disability compensation as a divisible marital asset. This practice by civil court judges is an infraction of the federal laws which were written to protect such benefits. [USC, Title 38, section 5301]
OFFE has spent the past 7 years attempting to correct this injustice and reinforcing the federal protection of earned veterans’ benefits. It is our belief that such benefits earned by brave young American men and women on the battlefield and in the line of duty are sacred and belong solely to the veteran wounded or injured. USC, Title 38, supports our position and forbids third party attachment under any legal or equable process whatsoever, either before or after receipt by the veteran.

Premarital (Prenuptial) Agreements are easy to acquire. Many attorneys do these types of contracts. A simple version of a Pre Nup would state that in the event of a divorce or separation the veteran would retain all disability compensation, services, and benefits awarded to them by the Department of Veterans Affairs. You can do a simple search of the internet to find sample forms, as well as detailed explanations describing the legally binding aspects of a pre-marriage contract. All of the information you will need to file a PreNup in your state is available on the internet, or at your public/base library.
The reality is some lowlife attorneys and corrupt courts have squirmed their way into military retirement pay several years ago, USFSPA. Now the legal worms have found a way to suck the blood out of our disabled veterans. Everyday in court rooms across this country severely disabled veterans are wrongfully stripped of their earned disability benefits. State court judges do not recognize, and will not honor the federal laws written by Congress to protect veterans’ benefits. OFFE is currently monitoring over 100 cases across the U.S. In the cases we are following many veterans have found themselves without adequate finances to provide for themselves. Many of those disabled veterans are ending up homeless and emotionally distraught with suicidal thoughts after going through a divorce and losing their disability benefits. This is a very critical situation and we urge you not to take it lightly. It is a sad day in this country when our battlefield scared and disabled veterans have to fight to keep their earned benefits. Even with a Federal Law protecting our benefits, severely disabled veterans are being victimized in civil courts every single day.
So, if you are thinking about marriage, you need to think about protecting your veteran’s benefits too. Contact a trustworthy attorney first.

TIP OF THE DAY!
If you receive VA disability compensation and/or Social Security Disability Insurance, DO NOT deposit these funds into a joint account with your spouse. Maintain a separate personal account for the deposit of your disability compensation and SSDI. This way there is no confusion about where the funds originate from. If you wish, you can always open a separate joint account which you can deposit funds into with your spouse.
