I'm 26 years old and have been married for 8 years. My husband and I have been going through some issues (for the past 14 months) and we have finally decided to file for divorce. This couldn't come at a worse time because I am not doing so well with my photography business. It's obviously not recession proof..I'm currently looking for a more stable job, in addition to heading back to school this fall. My husband returned from Iraq last year, and around that time we began having serious issues. I have tried helping him, but he doesn't respond to anything. There is just so much I can do and although we talked about divorce in the past..he told me 2 days ago that he wants to file for divorce. I almost feel as though he is hiding something..as he is very secretive with his cellular phone and computer as of late. It seems as if he wants to move out NOW and he says he will be roommating with a friend. But how does he expect me to just walk away from 8 years of marriage and just go roommate with someone and my business isn't doing so well now? It seems as though he has been planning this, while I've been thinking we are just heading to counseling or we're having a hard time. He's currently a military recruiter (with the marines) which has also been kind of hard, but i have been sticking in there. He's gone from 6am to 9pm at night 6 days a week and off on Sunday. I never questioned his schedule as he works right up the street and says that everyone works hard like he does while recruiting, so I understood. I feel as though I have been very supportive and patient with his work schedule, his mental instability and everything else. Anyway, I won't vent any longer..
How does the military divorce process work? Would I be eligible for any kind of support during the separation process? I'm not looking for a hand out, but I really need to either build my business more or find a steady job, also i have school this fall. What about health benefits? Will all that immediately stop? He's been in the military for 9 years and we have been married for 8 years. We have no children and we currently in the Northern VA area.
