Military divorce and need advice?

I have been married for only 6 months and now on my way to divorce. He is in the National Guard..he took off and left me with the rent, water bill way over due, tv shut off and he changed his phone number (cell) and I have no address. What rights do I have and what am I entitled to? He keeps threatening me with shutting off my cell (its in his name) he close our bank account. I am scared to get in touch with his commander because he might get back at me somehow..but he is even online now flirting with women!! I just want to know what I should do??Military divorce and need advice?
none whatsoever from the military.


this is strictly a matter between you, him and the courts.








The military does not get involved with domestic issues and as a member of the NG he doesn't even get BAH which is the ONLY thing you would have been entitled to until the divorce was final anyway. Military divorce and need advice?
Get a good lawyer. Your rights in a divorce are the same as anyone else regardless of his employment. His lawyer will play up his role in the Guard. You need a lawyer that can effectively point out how the idealization of his job does not, in any way, affect your rights as a spurned spouse.





Seriously, get a lawyer. There is a silly notion that lawyers aren't worth the effort. If you try to do this amicably you wil need to trust that your husband won't try to screw you over. You don't sound like you trust him to respect you that much. Any half-decent lawyer will not only take him on but take him on for enough to get you what you deserve as well as cover his own fees.





Even if they are sleazy lawyers they know law better than you, I, or your husband ever will. You do need this sort of expertise.
ok he is in the national guard unless he is active duty and getting BAH, then really there is nothing your entitled too... get a cell in your own name if its in his name he has every right to turn of the phone... get a job and get on your own....
Just divorce!

Sign your divorce papers and move on with your life.





Chalk this one up to a mistake....
Call his CO and then get on with your life.
Contact his chain of command ASAP.
Honestly, don't bother contacting his commanding officer. Its quite rare that they care about our side of things, they tend to stick with each other and protect their people.


First, take some money out of that account and get your own account. I'm assuming its a joint account, so you have rights to the money. You have to make sure you have the money to pay the bills so you'll have a place to stay, and food to eat.


Second, file for divorce immediately, and request alimony. I don't know what state you are in, or if you work, etc. However I would file for it stating that he's abandoned you, and left you with all the bills.


Forget about him flirting with other women, he's in the military and forgive the stereotype but its in their blood !


You need to plan this out and move fast before he can take your cell away, and get all the money out leaving you with nothing.


If he agrees with the divorce you can use this: http://divorce4her.com/


If he contests it then you'll have no choice but to get a lawyer or go through JAG (if they have that for Nat Guard?) but don't expect a lot of sympathy, again, they look out for their own.


Get moving, do this fast (especially getting some money into your own account) to protect yourself.


Best of luck,


Pamela
