Do I have to surrender my military ID after divorce?

Answer 1

If you are divorced, yes you must surrender your ID card. The exception to this is if you have dependent children under 10. Then you carry an ID card so that they may use their privileges. Once they reach age 10, they will receive their own ID card. Dependent children still have access to BX/PX, Commissary and other military institutions. They also have medical care provided by TriCare. They'll need their ID card to be seen by military doctors and should have a TriCare card as proof of insurance. However, you as the ex spouse, are not entitled to any of these privileges.

Answer 2

If you are a dependent spouse, then yes you will have to surrender your military ID. I was married to a gentleman in the USAF for 4 years and the day I moved off base, I surrendered my miltiary issued dependent ID.

However, I don't believe it is necessarily required until the actual Divorce is finalized.

Good luck!

Answer 3

the military ID must be surrended at any time it is requested.

Generally speaking: once a divorce is final, the civilian spouse must surrender the ID, as they are no longer eligible for any benefits previously granted by virtue of having said ID.

The only time you may retain a Military ID is if you are eligible for retirement bennies via the military.

If you have minor children, they are allowed to keep their ID until they reach their majority(or marry). You may be eligible for a pass that allows you access to the base so that you can drive the kids to their doctor's appointments( they keep medical until 21 or 23 if a full time college student), but this does NOT authorize you to access any MWR facilities, Medical or Commissary/Exchnage except to procur items ofr authorized dependant children who otherwise couldn't purchase their own items.

You could buy formula at the Exchnage, if you had an infant, but not a Coach purse for yourself, for instance.

Answer 4

If a divorce is granted, the non-military spouse may lose the military I.D. card unless the parties were married for at least 20 years prior to the divorce and the service member had at least 20 years of military service. If such years of service exist, full benefits, including medical, commissary, base exchange, theater and certain transportation benefits are provided. However, if only 15 years of military service took place during the marriage, only medical benefits are extended to the unmarried spouse for only one year from the date of the divorce. The medical benefits for the non-military spouse are permanently extinguished upon that spouse's remarriage. Remarriage also affects survivorship rights if a non-military spouse is a beneficiary under a survivor military benefit plan. A non-military spouse's remarriage may not affect the benefits that the spouse is to receive in a share of the retirement pay if it is awarded to the non-military spouse as part of a property division in the Divorce Decree.

If the parties were married for at least 10 years, a court can order a division of the military retirement pay benefits. If the marriage lasted for less than 10 years, the military will not make payments directly to the non-military spouse, but will make the payments directly to the service member who will then be court ordered to pay the non-military spouse's share directly to that person. Only in those cases where the marriage existed for more than 10 years, can the military make payments of military retirement pay directly to an ex-spouse

Answer 5

My experience is more than 10 years old, but no, I got onto a NM AFB with a girlfriend that was divorced. She flashed her ex's ID at the guard shack, we drove on in, checked out the prices at the PX, didn't buy anything, didn't bother anything, and left.

Might be different today. Driver's licences will be different in 2007, that I'm aware of. Same thing probably happening to military.

Answer 6

Your dependent ID? Hell yeah you do. What kind of business do you have on a military base anymore? Don't tell me cheap groceries and tax free cigarettes.

Answer 7

DEFINITELY -- no question about it. YOU MUST Surrender the card to the Military Servicemember so that they can turn it in for proper destruction.

Answer 9

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/BK6eP
This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.

Answer 10

Once you get divorced, you are no longer a dependent, so you have to turn your ID in.
