A PETITION REQUESTING LEGISLATIVE REFORM OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES FORMER SPOUSES PROTECTION ACT (USFSPA), PUBLIC LAW 97-252, 10 USC 1408- Those of us whose signatures appear below tender this petition for the relief of those tens of thousands of members of the Uniformed Services already impacted by, as well as those potentially vulnerable to, the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act (USFSPA); Public Law 97-252; 10 USC 1408 et.seq.
We believe that the USFSPA discriminates against members of the Uniformed Services who become divorced by subjecting them to mandates for the distribution of marital assets not applicable to other government employees (including members of Congress) and private citizens of the United States.
