[quote=Anonymous]If he is active duty military, then you have LOTS of resources available to you as a military spouse.

The first place I would go to is the chaplain's office.  They CANNOT disclose anything you say to them in confidence and can offer you some guidance and POCs for resources.  You don't have to be religious to take advantage of what the chaplain corps can offer you.

Next, remember that as a military spouse you get preference in hiring for Federal jobs.  Even if it's an entry level clerical job you should take it.  It will get you into the system and you will start growing your own retirement and will have your own health care.

If you get a job on a base (even as a civilian employee) you can still use the base child care services.

Second, as you probably already know, if you have been married at least 10 years you are automatically eligible for half of his retirement.  Your children will continue to have medical and other benefits until they come of age.

Good luck.  Military spouse life is not easy.  All I can say is I have been where you are and so glad I got out.  I developed my own Federal career and am so glad I jettisoned the selfish a-hole I was married to. [/quote]
