I have been married 22 years to ADAF service member. He's going to retire in June with the official retirement date in September 2008. I haven't been happy for quite some time...long story as I'm sure they usually are. Lately, I had moved to allow my 16 yr old son to attend the high school he attended previously before another PCS last summer. My son and I have been living in another state for the past 7 months. My spouse has been paying the rent/utilities/etc..even though I worked, just didn't make enough. I'm wondering about divorce from a military member. Is it better to wait until he officially retires?
I am currently back here with my husband but only to help get the house in order to sell as he'll be moving again in June or July. I have stayed home most of his career...small jobs here and there...my son would live with me most of the year...what are the chances I would get alimony since my husband is the one with all the education?
