With one spouse in the military, it is assumed that he or she might be unable to attend court proceedings due to being on assignment or out of the area, even the country. A tennessee military divorce also has different rules regarding the division of a military pension, residency requirements, spousal support, and benefits, pensions, and retirement accounts.
