[quote]Is this possible? I'm a little suspicious my ex will get his new lover or family member a general power of attorney to start divorce proceedings so he could beat me to the courthouse. (he will be stateside in a month)
He keeps telling me if I don't do what he wants he will file for divorce while he is overseas in Kuwait. I thought soldiers couldn't file for divorce while overseas, but I can't find a straight answer online. [/quote]
Let him file for divorce first. It will cost him more money.
And isn't going to change how assets are divided, who gets custody (if there are children) and support.
It just means that he had to pay the higher filing fee.
