It just doesn’t seem right or just.


Today's problems come from yesterday's solutions. The military pays great and has good benefits and because of the frequent moves it's hard for spouses to have careers. A lot of the laws were put in place to protect wives who would end up with nothing after giving up their earning years bouncing around as an Army wife.

Unfortunately now you have insane dependas who clean fricking house and ruin their husbands lives usually while he's deployed.

Definitely had red flags in my situation, but I was younger and naïve. With the benefit of hindsight, I should have run like the wind.

I wouldn’t say my divorce was “positive” because kids are involved and that’s never easy. In saying that the ex and have got along fine before, during, and after our divorce.

We split everything ourselves, came up with a child support plan that worked for us, and treat each other respectfully and paid one lawyer to draw it up.

She wanted the divorce and after a few years of trying to save our marriage I gave up knowing it wasn’t going to happen. I could have been an a-hole because of that but decided it’s in the kids best interest for us to get along. It isn’t like you get a divorce and never see that person again because of the kids.

Just put what happened between you two behind and focus on raising them it can workout as long as one of you are not out for revenge.

Of course you can’t control your ex so if she is crazy good luck it will be a nightmare.

If you're career military you're fricked. Wife will get full custody since you deploy a lot, she'll get half your pension, most of what's left of your pension will go to child support. Not counting lawyer fees and losing half your savings as well.


This isn’t all that true. Spouse only gets half the pension if they’ve been with you long enough (10+ years). And if you’re still paying child support after doing 20+ years in the military, it shouldn’t be for but a short period of time unless you decided to have a kid in the later days of your career.
