You need the advice of an attorney. Your husband has found another woman. Whether or not you are entitled to rehabilitative alimony depends upon the laws in your state.

I suggest you call a local veterans hospital or veterans affairs office near you to find out also I suggest you contact a lawyer to see if you need legal advice. Being married for 5 yrs does come with some benefits I'm just not sure what they are. Also since he left for no reason "for his own reasons " that basically means that he found someone else & he wants to be with them!!
Good Luck!!

You didn’t state where you live, but assuming you live in the U.S. generally speaking….
IF you mean benefits as in alimony, it’s unlikely. First, a 5-year marriage is considered short-term. Second, the purpose of alimony is to assist women who are unable to support themselves, ususally because they were out of the work force due to being a stay-at-home wife/mother. If you had no kids there was no reason you couldn't have worked/taken classes to acquire job skills/furthered your education/etc. Therefore, you should be able to support yourself. IF you receive any alimony (again, I think it’s unlikely) it will be short term...just long enough for you to get on your feet.
Talk to a local attorney about the law of your specific state.

Your question is not clear to me, but if he is in the military service then I would contact the Department of Defense and ask where you could get that information if they can't do it for you. I think their service would be free.
If you have a Veterans department in your town or city they might be able to help you.
But if you are willing to pay then go to a lawyer.

In the United States you would have to have been married 9 years to expect any benefits when he retires. Why do you need anything? With no kids you should have been working, why do you need anything from him?

You get nothing where it pertains to his benefits. Especially since you have no children. You are on your own.
