I’ve been separated from my abusive husband for about 7 months now. He ran and joined the military as soon as we separated. I found out recently the spouse benefits are going to his mother who fakes a disability for a check.
While I don’t care about the $, and we have no children, I do want this divorce to move along.
He refused to sign papers initially saying he could get it done for free or cheaper through the military.
As soon as he got there, magically he “broke his leg” and now it’s going to take even longer.
I told him I would just go ahead and file myself but he told me he has to wait until he get stationed. And that if I told the military we weren’t really together then he would “make me extremely sorry”.
I can't tell if he is just saying this so that his mother can keep getting the benefits or if this is actually true.
I will be getting an attorney soon, but does anyone know if this is having to wait until he is stationed is true? Or is he just dragging it out?
(no sarcasm or rude comments please, it’s a genuine question)
