Q: Married 25 yrs to retired military man. He had 2 children out of wedlock. How long can I file for seperation/divorce.?
He has a house in MI and I just bought a house 2 months ago in GA. We have 5 kids with only 2 uder 18. He took my 7 yr son and lives with his dad in GA and I have my 17 yr old daughter with me. He has 2 daughters with 2 different woman he had during our marraige. His taxes are garnished for back child support. How long do I have to be seperated to file for divorce. I was married to him throughout his entire military carreer, so I was informed that Im entitled to half of his retirement forever or until I re wed? Is this accurate? We are both 100% Disabled Veterans plus he recieves his retirement check from the Army.
A: There is no waiting period for divorces in Georgia, so there is no required period of separation before you can file for divorce. Based on your years of marriage, and his years of military service, you may be entitled to a portion of his military retirement. you should consult with a family law attorney to discuss your options.
