USFSPA is a law passed by Congress in 1982 to offer some financial protection to certain former spouses of servicemembers. It allows states to divide military disposable retired pay as marital property upon divorce. It allows some former spouses (through a court order) to be awarded a share of disposable retired pay by direct payment from DFAS (Defense Finance and Accounting Service) and to obtain medical care and certain other benefits.
