We are airforce not army,but I was wondering if you could still help. My husband is active duty and we live in base housing. We are not seperated or anything, but he is telling me that I have to get out of the house because he no longer wants to be together. We have a child and I am pregnant with another. Can he throw me out of military housing for no reason?

Molly, My ex-husband is going to put in his retirement packet in December of this year and will retire in March of 2012. As per our divorce agreement he must pay me 1/2 of his retirement. When he puts in his paper work will he tell the Army or do I have to send in all of the paper work in order for me to start having the payments directly deposited in to my bank account? If I have to do it, who do I call and find out what I need to do?

thank you

@Laura – You will find your answers here:

Your minor child most likely is eligible. You most likely are not, unless you have been married for 20 years.

I want a divorce from my husband who is serving in the U.S Army. We already have had a legal seperation aggreement for 1 year. Our seperation agreement says I am entitled to benefits until our divorce is final. However, I would still like to get health benefits for myself and my daughter for at least one year after our divorce. Will the military do this?

Christine,

Sorry to hear about the challenges. Your best bet in finding a lawyer is to call your state bar association. They will recommend a lawyer who is familiar with military divorce and the law in your state.

If he is also ready to agree to the divorce, you might try a mediator first, as they are far less expensive.

While you are still married, I would talk to a chaplain or call Military OneSource, they may have some advice on how to make sure the BAH and separation allowance goes to the support of his household and family.

hi,

I was browsing this blog site and came across this blog. i am going thru similar problems. I found out my husband in the army, stationed overseas in korea has been unfaithful the past year. I have a 2 year old son, and this is something i will be able to forgive. I am looking to divorce.

This comes to the most important part.

about the BAH, and family seperation allowance. He has only been giving me 1000 a month for both me and my son. The rest of the money i never see. He does not let me handle household expenses, and ive never seen a paycheck since he enlisted. 1000$’s just isnt enough for both me ad my child. I have tried asking him to give us more, or the actual amount the army requires him to give us. But, he refused the request.

He has also not been in his childs life for more than 70 % of the time. This is such trying times for me and my son. NOt to mention the emotional distress its causing me.

I want a divorce, but i dont know where to start. How to find a military divorce lawyer etc. I can use any help if any regarding my predicament.

please help thank you
