VA disability settlements can be a huge assistance to veterans disability lawyers and their families, but they're not without their own set of challenges. If a veteran divorces and receives a VA settlement then they must know what this will do to the benefits they receive.
One of the major issues in this context is whether or not disability payments are considered divisible assets in a divorce. This issue has been settled in a variety of ways. A Colorado court of appeals ruling declared that VA disability payments were not property and therefore could not be divided this way.

Another issue related to this subject is how disability benefits are treated in the context of child support and maintenance. The USFSPA and the Supreme Court both forbid states from counting disability payments as income to be used for this purpose. Some states have an alternative approach. For instance, Colorado adds up all sources of income to determine how much in support a spouse needs and then pluses up the disability payments to take into account that they are tax free.
Finally, it is important for veterans to understand how their disability compensation will be affected when they get divorced and how their spouses who divorced them can affect their compensation. By being aware of these issues, veterans can protect their income and avoid unwanted consequences.
