when getting divorced in the military is it true that medical can be retained by the spouse if its in the decree?

The military nor the member are responsible for the medical coverage of a former spouse, unless its ordered in a court document and then it wouldn’t be TriCare, the member would have to find a outside coverage for the former spouse. Keep in mind the only thing you can be entitled to automatically, is half of the members military retirement pay, and that’s only when you have been married to the member for more then half of their career. But this should be put in the final order!!
I hope this has helped you.

No the former spouse does not keep the medical benefits. In the decree or not its something the military member has no control over. If there is a child involved the child will keep medical benefits until they are 18 or 21 (if a full time student).

my basic answer would be no. it depends upon how long you've been married. go to legal and ask. depending upon whether you are the spouse or the member i would advise differently. and why does it matter? if you want a divorce then get one.
this questions sounds like one a spouse would ask to try to "get over" and keep the military benefits without having to take the oath and pick up a weapon.

yes if he is retiring or retired. Not that I know of while he is active duty. You need to discuss this with a lawyer that is experienced with military family law. Try one of the ones on base. If there are children they get to retain medical coverage.

Yes, the military will accept the Court Order for a finite amount of time.

It can, but only for a maximum of a year. The dependants (children) can have it until they are 18.
