FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF.

John Camp focuses on how family law practitioners can help their clients undergoing a divorce from a servicemember secure health care coverage in his article "Gateways to Former Spouse Post-Divorce Health Care Options." He emphasizes the necessity of taking action within the first 60 days of a divorce from a servicemember before the window of opportunity for enrollment for military health care coverage closes. He notes that for military divorce cases going forward, it is so essential that the attorney for the former spouse insist on a clause or provision that awards the marital share of the military retirement to the former spouse that failing to do so risks a malpractice claim.
