I live in a very small town in Al. under 8,000 where everyone knows or belongs to that family. Judge would not rule on X military retirement. Its the good old boy system around here, cleveland says it has to be done on D day to have the court sign the papers giving you your part. You can try to appeal it will cost you more than the D did. I had no reason to think I would not get my part since it is covered by spousal protection act made by the Federal Gov. But in small towns they dont know what to do, lawyers here have never had to deal with it, it is not spousal support but is counted as property & will divide as that. You need to have been married at least 10 yrs. Emailed all our congressman & senators. Just got a letter Friday from the US Senate they made contact with the Navy Dept for me & will be working with them to help me. I will have to sign release statement for Privacy Acts & they will need both Social Security numbers to find my retired Navy Husbands records. Never give up hope keep trying. There is a place to call to help you find a lawyer in your state that can handle the military retirement, I will have to post it later, you can go to your nearest military base & make appointment to talk with the military dept. They will give you all the paperwork your attorney needs. Heard from MOW husband yesterday, X has been taking his 3 kids (all under 10) around his new work place & spending time with them. X is telling co-workers that this is his girlfriend, I wonder if he is telling co-workers that he is still married & his girlfriend is married. This is the MOW that he loss his job as a police officer, wasnt too smart to be in patrol car around 12 noon on dirt road just outside city limits having sex with her where everyone could see them.
