The USFSPA is unfair to military members, why can't we get a law fair to service members and former spouses?
The USFSPA gives former spouse a portion of the military members retirement pay FOR LIFE. It also gives the former spouses raises as the military members get cost of living allowances, and allows for raises from active duty pay after divorce. All the former spouse had to do was to be married to the military member for at least 10 years. They don't lose the benefit if they remarry. If it's considered a part of a retirement plan in which they are entitled then there should be a maximum dollar amount attached. No one is ever forced to pay a former spouse for life! Why can't a law be enacted to allow payment for the amount of time the couple was married? I understand the premise of this law was to be fair to the former spouse, but it completely penalizes the service member.

Answer 1

Stage a lobby at the Senate or Congress in order to get better benefits through legislation.

Answer 2

I agree, this is not right. But then, I am a woman (in the midst of divorce w/ children), who is also against alimony (only exception, woman or man who stayed home with children all the way through high school/college).
