The service member is required to support their dependents. As long as you are married he is required to send you his BAH. Once you are divorced he will still have to send you support for the child. Unless the divorce decree states so, he is under no obligation to send money for your welfare once you are legally divorced. If all you care about is the money just get a divorce and stop trying to screw over the system. Tax payers shouldn't have to pay for you if you are just "seperated".

Check with military family services at the nearest large base or a lawyer who is familiar with military issues. There may be provisions for a support allotment as part of a divorce decree or for a support order that can be met by voluntary allottment. This is not a put down of anyone but as much as I like Yahoo answers this is not the place for sure answers to major life issues. You also need to know the laws in your state re divorce from active duty military and military in combat areas if that applies some states have very specific provisions on that. here too MFS and a knowledgable lawyer are your best sources and be suire that whatever lawyer knows laws specifically on military family issues.

No you don't. The military will honor any court awarded child support and force him to have it paid through an allotment. During the separation, he can set up a voluntary support allotment on his own.

Yes, you have to stay married to get your military allotment. Is that the only reason you married him ? Worried now you have to work? Grass does not look so green anymore. HUH

allotment for what? I am a military wife nad there are a lot of allotments so exactly what allotment are you talking about?
Also, why would you care? If your marriage is over move on, military marrigages are hard but if they are over then just end it without all the flippin drama and revenge.

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money. I just thought I'd write in a language you would understand.
You remind me of my ex-wife, she didn't marry a person either, just an income! Don't worry though, the courts will give you plenty because with him being a military member you can get at him from the court side and the Command side. Aren't you proud of that!

Yes.
But, on divorce, you can get a required support payment as long as he stays in the service. It's usually less than the allotment, but it does show up like clockwork.

Yes- you would have to stay married. Any and all money, benefits, medical care, dental and resources provided to you and your child will be taken away once your husband reports the divorce to his command. You can still receive alimony if you never worked while being married to him or worked PT in minimum wage, and you can still receive child support which will be docked from his pay every month into your bank account.

You can't get anything from the Military unless you're married ... other than child support or alimony ... after the divorce that is ... good luck ... !

sweetie, my husband is in the military, the only thing you will get once you are divorce is CHILD SUPPORT only. the child will have benefits as long as your husband is in the service ONLY. you will be able to take the child to the military doctors, px, commissary, but you have NO rights at all once you are divorce. your husband don't owe you nothing else.
