Question for people familiar with family law and military families. If an officer who has kids gets a divorce, will the armed services pay for the officer’s spouse and kids to move from place to place to live near the officer? I’m concerned about a close family member who is trapped in a terrible marriage. Normally this person moves every few years and gets subsidized housing, but I’m wondering if the services will pay for two households if the person divorces.
There is a lot of info online about military divorces, for example: http://www.militaryonesource.mil/legal?content_id=271162
Agree with the above response, and recommend your family member speak with Legal Assistance (available to both the armed services member and spouse; not sure which is your family member). I’d be surprised if the military would continue to pay for relocation expenses; I have never heard of that — but worth asking.
Thanks for your comments and the references. The family member is male and adores his children, but his controlling, manipulative wife is threatening to leave him and take the kids. If he is stationed abroad and his wife (and kids presumably because she is a SAHM) remain in the U.S., it does not bode well for his ability to see them with any frequency. I believe this is why he is trying to stay married to her.
