That's too funny, what makes her think the military is obligated to pay her legal expenses. State laws will dictate what she's entitled to not the military. She's too dumb and needs to be dumped...

No, the Government doesn't pay for either one of their Attorney's.
The Government isn't going to get involved with a divorce, and the Military Attorney's aren't there to help in divorces. People often assume we Military Families have far more privileges then we really do when it comes to Military lawyer' and help from the Military for court cases, but it's not true. I'm remarried to someone in the Navy now, but my ex-husband was also Military and we both had to pay out of pocket for our divorce and the Attorney's. The only thing the Military can do to help during a divorce is if there has been some documented abuse through them, or going to the Military Member's Command if they have been ordered to pay spouse support/child support and they have failed to do so. They will help uphold court orders.

the military will not and cannot represent her. At most, they can refer the SERVICEMEMBER to someone who can represent them. The military will not pay for the spouse to retain legal representation, she must do so herself.
Nor will the military get involved with anything regarding benefits and BAH. She retains all medical bennies until the divorce is final, and BAH may ONLY be sent to her IF there is a court order stipulating so(usually as part of the seperation agreement). her entitlement to BAH alos ends the day the divorce is final, and she may not petition for any back BAH. Any children will retain Medical bennies until aged 21(23 if a full time college student) o runtil they themselves enlist or get married.
How much money, if any, she will be entitled to is entirely up to the courts.

tell him you received't supply him a divorce you 2 have a baby mutually. it isn't as a lot as you anymore expensive. once you made a baby with him, you both gave up the right to act in accordance to what's sweet for you, ordinary and straightforward. I advise you regulate your attitude to searching at existence as a fantastic journey. And marriage isn't a cup of tea for all time. you have not even extremely BEEN married in view that he has been gone the entire time. i imagine you and your husband favor to develope some more proper morals. He does not sound like a "actual guy" to favor to do this to you and the newborn... i'd tell him how grateful you're for him that he works so not ordinary and provides for you and your newborn and that you could not wait till he comes living house so that you'll start over on a healthful actual marriage and be in a position to not placed the newborn in daycare. Take your chlild out of daycare for christ sake!!!! That NO, you received't divorce him. examine: Love and appreciate through Eggerichs, perfect Care and Feeding of Marriage through Dr. Schleshinger bear in mind, it isn't abut you anymore...it really is about what's brilliant on your newborn. don't be egocentric and immature.

I don't understand your question too well but when a woman marries a military man she also marries the military and is a part of it. All the benefits etc. I imagine the military will help her but if she doesn't want it, so be it.

Is your friend also employed in Military? If she had already filed the divorce petition, she has to get seperated from present relationship and live alone! That is what law says!
She can't and shouldn't expect any of her burden to be shared by her husband! Is there anyone who is going to remarry her immediately? What I mean is the "illicit relationship" that she might have developed with any of her husband's colleagues.
Let both of them (she and her husband ) meet a councillor to sort out the misunderstanding and live together!!

The military will never "pay for her lawyer" for anything, including a divorce. As long as she has an ID card, she can visit her local legal assistance office to get advice, however. But to proceed to court, she'll have to hire her own attorney.

No, the military does not pay for a divorce at all. You have to do everything through the civilian court system.

Option 1:They go both together to Jag if they agree on who gets what and sign the divorce papers that should be at no charge for her.
Option 2:If both parties do not agree whoever gets to the Jag office first can get legal advice there ,they other spouse have to go to the next nearest jag office.
Now i don`t know if jag will represent you in court there are there to give you legal advice, what i do know if she takes a civilian lawyer she has to pay out of her pocket.
Good luck to your friend!

The military has no obligation to pick up the tab for any lawyer, his or hers for that matter. This dissolution of marriage is not the governments responsibility therefore is not held liable to pay any expenses, good luck

THe military has nothing to do with their divorce. They must each retain their own legal council and the divorce will be carried out in civilian courts.
