Boy and I treat women gold and don't even date, call his commander or call the man in charge of his unit at his base. You are entitled to half his salary due to his GI status. I am sorry you are having this problem.
1/2 on divorce.

Sorry I had to be the barer of bad news but you are not intitled to any part of his check at all if divorce. ( your daughter however will get child support and medical for as long as he is in the navy or if he retires) If you were married for 10 + years you are entitled to a portion of his retirement. With being on a ship his pays should be more than 500. If he is a second class you should be getting bah and bhq. ( houseing payments!) My recommendation is if you want to work it out with your husband you should. And you should try to apply for navy housing and this was your house payment will be paid by the navy ( it's not included in the check anymore and he can't spend it!) and in most cases the navy pays your electric and water. You would pay for phone or cable what ever expenses you want extra. You can also contact his commanding officer and he can get in a lot of trouble for not supporting you and your daughter. They will most likely set up an allotment into a bank account. ( they will make him get help!) Being on a ship as well he should be getting sea pay which is an extra 2-300 a month. Plus if he is out to sea after 30 days he should get family seperation pay. ( if any of this money is direct deposited, my recommendation would be to with drawl it all and put it in an account on every 1st and 15th to ensure you have what you need to pay bills and take care of your child.) Don't be vicious and not leave him a cent. leave him 50-100 to eat on or do things while in port. It's hard on them being on a ship and away from their families. I know I have been a navy wife for 8 years and it's rough. My husband has missed almost everything of our 3 kids lives. But he takes care of us no matter what. If you need any advice please let me know.

I have never heard of the military mandating any amount to a spouse or children in a divorce situation. I think it would be a civil matter entirely. You may have a claim to some of any retirement, but still a civil matter. You may want to make any child support or spousal support that is paid to be paid by military pay allotment. That way you can be reasonably sure of when you will get your money each month. You must remember though, the military member can stop the allotment just as easy as he can start it. In any case, you should plan on taking care of yourself rather than counting on someone else providing for you.

Get a job. There are plenty of people with health problems that work. Stop using depression as an excuse to sit at home. You need to fend for yourself so you can get a lawyer. You will probably get child support if anything. Please, use it for your child not yourself. You sound like you just want to milk some easy cash so you dont have to work. If he's that broke from gambling what do you think you're going to get? A big time reality check when you realize that half his **** stil won't cover your bills.

Accordingly to UMCJ You are entiled to the full amouth of the BAH, any wages that are being set way for payment on his debt come from his wages and not the BAH (basic Housing Allowance).
You can check the BAH rates for your zip code on AKO or just google it. All you need is his rank , your zip code and check fo BAH with dependents. If you live in goverment housing then you are not entitled to nothing more, since he is sending you $ 500 dollars a month wich is enough to cover basic necesities.
Since your husband is in the Navy, then you have free Legal assitance, You have to go to the nearest Army, Airforce, Marine or Navy base and ask where JAG is. Is better to go in person but call before hand to make an appoitment if necesary.
Tricare will fully cover your medical bills to include Counselling. All branches of the military offer Counselling and treatment for depression for free. Are you enrolled in DEERS? All you need is to show your dependant I.D.
Continue to work as your husbands wages are being taken to repay debt and he cannot give you anymore. I agree with stop using depression as an excuse as many people that suffer from depression (such as me) go to work 8-5 MON-FRI.
JAG also gives weekly divorce and separation workshops and advice. They cannot represent you in court but they will give you a list of reputable lawyers in your area and they will tell you about your entitlements and obligations.
IF you are entitled to BAH and youa re not receiving itm then you have to contact his company commander and they will take it straight from his wages as is a military responsability for doing so. If his Commander is in ship to, call the I.G. Office and file a complaint, they always get back to you and get your stuff done (I have helped many on you situation!)
Sorry to hear about what has happened, please, go the JAG inmediatly and find and attorney. Good luck , may God bless you and your child .
Ps./ You are entitled to 2.5% of his retirement per year of marriage. So if you get divorced at 4 years, you are entitled to a 10% pension for life when he retires!

I agree that you need to speak with a Jag. There are also public attorneys for people who cannot afford one. I also agree that you need to get yourself a job and start supporting yourself and your daughter. His check or what he will be expected to pay you will not cover your bills. In any situation, if you file for divorce the spouse would be required to pay X amount of dollars for child support. I don't know or think that you are entitled to X amount for any type of seperation.

Alright, i'm no pro at this by any means...but i've seen LOTS of my friends going through military divorces. When you're legally seperated....i THINK you're entitled to BAH. That's it though. You would need to go to JAG and show them you seperation paperwork and they will point you in the right direction from there. Once you're divorced, unless you take him for alimony or child support, you're not entitled to anything.
Good luck and god bless

Go to his CO. My BF has the same problem with her man. He wasn't leaving her enough money to pay what she needed to pay. If I was you I would open a seperate account and start moving funds the minute they hit your bank, before he can drain it. When a soldier is sent overseas he is given EXTRA pay for his family!!! I know you probably feel insecure talking to anyone in the military but if you want you can send me a IM at the name listed under my avatar and we can get all the downlow you need to know. He can get in alot of trouble for leaving his family penniless.

During a legal separation you are entitled to his Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAH). Since you are not divorced I don't think you can file for child support. Durring the divorce you can ask the judge for allimony. but right now you can talk to his command and let them know he is not taking care of his family (ie you).
His commander can force him to send home more money.
