I was in the army and saw things similar to this. How long till he goes to Iraq????? This is what you do. First if he only sends you 300 dollars, go to his unit. They'll fix that crap really fast!!!!! They do not take to it well when a deployed married soldier doesn't take care of his family. Next, if he's in Iraq, you can live in base housing as long as you are a dependant, so basically till the divorce is final. Wait for him to leave, file the papers, get your stuff together and get out as fast as possible. One thing to keep in mind, if he's active duty, it's very unlikely he'll get to keep the kids because Texas is biased towards the mother and it's almost impossible for a single parent in the military to keep their children full time.
