Husband is an active duty Marine. When will BAH start if he just filled out paper work?

I believe what you are talking about here is a Separation Agreement. That you can obtain at SJA, JAG whatever the Marine Corps calls their military attorneys. You will be represented by one JAG officer and your soon to be ex by another and often a SA will follow the same verbiage and agreements that your impending divorce will but at the same time, you can have them draw up an agreement but that doesn't mean your husband has to agree to the terms as it is a mutual agreement between the both of you.

In short, you cannot dictate the terms and have it enforced upon him if he does not agree to it. Your best bet is just to take the time and money now, go see a civilian attorney as JAG cannot represent you in a civilian court and just file for divorce. Again if you still want the separation agreement, you both will have to be represented by different JAG attorneys and the agreement has to be mutual and in many cases whether either one of you violates the agreement it is hard to legally enforce it as opposed to a restraining order or divorce decree.

If you want the SA, make an appointment with JAG and they will take it from there. If you don't want the hassle of possibly spinning your tires with that, go see a civilian attorney, pay the fees and file for divorce. Just FYI for everyone I unfortunately have first hand personal experience at this and yes, JAG will draw up separation paperwork for both you and your spouse, they will assign two different attorneys to help you accomplish this and unless it was a worst dream than I thought I and my ex wife actually did this.

It spelled out the amount of alimony, child support, who took what and who could do what. Not really legally binding in a sense but it provided a path for our pending divorce so we could basically go our separate ways on mutually agreed to turf. Now the actual divorce, yes, I had to retain a civilian attorney and I provided him with our separation agreement and the basis of our divorce was outlined pretty close to it with the exception of the state mandated amounts of child support as opposed to what we agreed to initially in the separation agreement.

They do it, trust me, just have to ask but again if neither party can agree on the verbiage then it is a wasted effort and the only recourse is a divorce decree from family court. That's all I gots to say about that.

You are not a civilian... you are a military dependent. You have access to government facilities and government health care.... as which a civilian does not. Simply go see a normal lawyer and have him served with separation papers or divorce papers.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
