That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does prall the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave.

Your question is u201cShould the military retirement pay received by military former spouses be subject to garnishment to pay child support owed to service members by the former spouse?u201d The short answer is yes. If you want to know why, keep reading.If your question is a practical one, whether military retirement pay can be garnished to pay court-ordered child support payable by the retirement service member to the other parent, the short answer is yes, it can be garnished.If, however, your question is a public policy question, which is whether military retirement pay should continue to be garnishable to satisfy a child support obligation of the retired service member or instead made immune from garnishment u2023 which would take an act of Congress u2023 my opinion is that Congress should not change the current law.(When it comes to public policy questions, weu2019re all really just talking about our opinions, even if some opinions are well supported with facts and arguments while others arenu2019t.)Why should the law remain unchanged? If someone has a court-ordered obligation to support his or her children, that person needs to comply with that obligation. If that person fails to pay court-ordered child support, there is no principled reason to insulate military retirement pay from being garnishable or otherwise subject to enforcement by the child support creditor. None. Military retirement is not more sacrosanct than non-military pensions or current wages or interest or dividend income, and all those other income streams are subject to garnishment for child support.

Court will send summons to your address through their office server.Court will attempt few times to your address. If you are residing at that address and rejected it, the same will be noted and the Divorce case will proceed without your presence (ex-parte). If you donu2019t live at that address, Court will ask the Husband to advertise in major publications attempting to reach you. If you are not still reachable, Case will proceed ex-parte.One way to find out if your husband has filed for Divorce is to search in Home - eCourt India Services website. Browse to your district and select u201cCase Statusu201d. You can search based on your Husband name. Now, you have to make some intelligent guess about which court complex he would be filing in. Normally, that depends on where he resides. So, do some trial and error searches in this page. If he has indeed files for divorce, it will show up here.

How Should they respond?I know this might sound cold-hearted, but hear me out.Once upon a time, there was a boy named Eric. Ericu2019s parents saved and scrimped and invested before he was even born for his college fund. Eric turned out to be an above average student and was accepted at the college where his brother also went. His parents were proud of this milestone and felt comfort in the fact that his older brother would be close in case of emergencies.. They looked forward to the day where they could be free to do whatever it was that they did before children.The only problem was that Eric liked college a little too much. And by that, I mean he overstayed his welcome, not graduating with a Bachelor's degree by year six.Eric still expected the support of his parents for food, housing, car insurance, gas, and other necessities while he fiddled around taking and dropping classes, attending freshman parties and having freshman ladies revere him as some kind of campus god.Eric never graduated. Eric did not receive any type of tuition assistance during his attempts at degree attainment, so roughly over 120k dollars was blown on a future that never materialized.This example, unfortunately, is not an isolated incident.My friend Bogdan, one of the smartest nerds I know, had a full scholarship and blew it by failing the first year of college at eighteen years old. He partied his way right out of his scholarships, which were revoked for poor grades. His parents took over college payments to make up for the rescinded scholarship money.He attended college part-time off and on for years until he enrolled in a dentistry school in Romania. He was 35 years-old when he enrolled and was anticipating his degree in three years, but he has dragged these years into seven years and counting. At 42, he focuses on his wife and son. He has a genius level IQ and a deficient level of motivation. He is currently unemployed.These are two very real examples of why it is never a good idea to pay for your child's college.If your child is responsible, conscientious, careful, focused, resistant to immediate gratification, and persevering, they will be eligible to receive scholarships so long as they prove themselves by maintaining good grades. If financial aid is an option, the motivated student would fill out the necessary documents and turn them in on time. The rest of the funding would be gained by applying for loans responsibly.You see, the same skills it takes a young adult to finance college on their own are THE EXACT SAME skills it takes to graduate in a timely manner and successfully acquire a good job and maintain a successful career.No amount of money obtained from an ex-spouse can prthis level of education on the art of self sufficiency and goal attainment.Making your son or daughter go through this process will make them the type of adults we are proud of in the future.They will think twice about hitting that keg party and skipping class.I have learned that people tend to make better choices and spend frugally when funding comes from their own pocket versus the pocket of a kind and generous parent.My recommendation to you is to extend your hand to your ex-spouse and thank them for teaching you a valuable lesson in raising children responsibly.

Ask a divorce lawyer.

Thereu2019s not a great answer. The only two ways to enlarge your retirement savings are (1) save more and (2) earn greater investment returns. If you maxed out your employeru2019s 401k or other defined contribution plan then look for other tax-deferred options like insurance policies, health savings accounts, etc.

While Iu2019m not an attorney, Iu2019m married to retired 1st Sgt of the US Marine Corps whose former spouse receives a portion of his military retirement/retainer pay (MRP). As such, Iu2019ll answer based on my knowledge of the Uniformed Service Former Spouse Protection Act (USFSPA).Under USFSPA, a former spouse (FS) is entitled to a portion of a service memberu2019s (SM) retirement pay regardless of the length of the marriage. For a FS to receive payments directly from the Defense Finance & Accounting Services vs from the SM, the couple must have a minimum 10 years of marriage with 10 years overlapping creditable service by the SM (i.e., the 10/10 rule). FSu2019s who were married to a SM for 20 years or more, with at least 20 years of overlapping creditable service by the SM, are entitled to the SMu2019s MRP, as well as lifetime healthcare coverage, base & commissary access.Entitlement by a FS to a SMu2019s MRP must be awarded by a court of proper jurisdiction. Without jurisdiction over the SMu2019s MRP, the SMu2019s MRP is not & cannot be considered divisible property. As such, if the FS in question has a final divorce decree/marriage settlement agreement that has already been accepted by the Court & signed by all relevant parties & does not include proper language required by DFAS that: A) Indicates the Court where the divorce was filed has properly obtained jurisdiction (i.e., the right to divide the SMu2019s MRP) & B) Awards the FS a portion of the SMu2019s MRP, not to exceed 50%, then the FS has no entitlement to a SMu2019s MRP.The only chance the FS has at obtaining any entitlement to the SMu2019s MRP, is to appeal the final/approved/signed divorce decree/marriage settlement agreement. Amending, or contesting a final divorce decree is nothing short of an uphill battle & demands the knowledge & expertise of a seasoned family law attorney who is well in matters surrounding the USFSPA. Unless the FS was forced to sign the final decree under duress (as in gun to their head, duress), without a good attorney & a hefty chunk of change to pay for said attorney, itu2019s unlikely a Judge will allow for any amendment to the existing final decree.Let us know what happens. Thanks!
