toofargone, 30 years of marriage...At age 60, after at least 20 years of satisfactory service in the National Guard, she may begin collecting retirement pay, then you should be entitled to 18 years worth of your marriage, (not sure, but could be between 30-40%, you should research this). Supporting a military spouse is far from easy, sounds like you were a husband who gave 100 percent throughout the marriage therefore you deserve a portion of the military pension! Good luck.
I have a question... My husband is in the Marine Corps in a non depoyable unit Ive been married since Aug 2007... I was three months pregnant at the time. At five months pregnant he cheated and when i tried to leave he would get very abusive. He only provided housing for me for a couple months but i never knew where the money he received went, because all bills are passed due.I gave birth in March and two weeks later he kicked me and my new born out. I have not received any help. I also have no family to help me in the country.. He told me that he didnt need me or the baby around anymore because with his name in the birth certificate he would still receive the same amount of money. I tried calling his command officer several times but they dont call me back. He threatens me every time I call them or him for anything. I really want a divorce and have him completly out of our life, but he left me with no money. Can someone please help me by letting me know what I should do
Ok if they (the service member) gets bha (or whatever the hell they are calling it these days)based on having dependants, regardless if you have children or not, you as the spouse are entitled to that money as long as you are still married. The military legal will not get involved in divorce as far as representing anyone. They do however have to help enforce the laws. No spouse of any active duty service member should ever be left penniless if the service member is getting dependant bas or bha (housing money) If you are not getting anywhere with the command stop beating yourself against the wall and contact legal, and jag and your congressmen if necessary. By the way adultary is a punishable offense by the uniform code of military justice. It is hard to prove, but do able.Document everything, make copies and keep a spare in a safe deposit box. Hope that helps some of you.
