specifically health care? I have been married to a service member of the USN for 17 yrs and he left me and my 2 kids approximately 2 yrs ago. He stopped paying any bills which included the mortgage, car payments etc. This resulted in a foreclosure and repossession. I went to his immediate command and just ignored this matter. I thought they would at least be concerned about his indebtedness. They just brushed it under the rug and even allowed him to be promoted. It was just a slap in the face after all the sacrifices that me and my family have made along the way for his career.
 
You've been married for 17 years while your husband has been in the Navy. You are entitled, by law, to nearly 1/2 his pension and continuation of your medical and other benefits. Any divorce attorney who deals with military marriages can explain it to you.
 
YOu should have went to the MCRS! They would have shown you a regulation which entitles him to give you 2/3 of his pay every month!! This includes Housing and comrats!!! Are you still married? If so you need to go ASAP!! Then stay married until he hits 20 years! Otherwise you will get nothing!
