Okay does anyone know how long you have to clear the house once divorce is final?


One lady at housing said (according to my almost ex husband) the second it is final you have to be out.
Another lady said (to me) you have 30 days to move out.
and believe it or not, JAG said that while they don't know the policy-they do know that the housing office can't kick you out! Because it is on military property the typical renters rules don't apply.

Has anyone been in this situation? 

Uh Oh 

you must be getting along ok if you are still cohabiting.

will he "tell on you"? 

Thing is, its hard to say when the divorce will be final. The other issue is some housing offices say if the member is not living there you must vacate as well. The lease says: ( JBLM) That once the sponsor is no longer living there you will have to ask to have the situation reevaluated to see if you qualify. Most likely you will not and in that case it states you must leave "immediately".

A friend of mine was given thirty days. I would keep on top of it and start looking now. Keeping that in mind if he is getting BAH and you are not in housing he is in the wrong, unless he was authorized BAH DIFF or type 2.

Also remember he can't take your ID. The military may say you have to give it up ( which may be determined by your divorce anf if children are involved) but he can be charged with larceny if he takes it from you. UCMJ Article 121. This entitlement is granted by congressional law not by you sponsor. There are cases where the soldier has tried to isolate their spouse and the spouse has been given an ID card by the Personel Office after notating the spouse refused.

I realize you did not ask about this but some spouses have been faced with such on top of the divorce. 

(according to my almost ex husband)
sorry u have to deal with it.. and btw the Military doesnt help out the families like they say they are more into helpin out their soldiers... screw everyone else 

OnaRoll-he has not lived with me since July 2012.
I would love it if they said I had to move tomorrow...with no where else to go I would just have to move to CO with my sister! :) Which is what I want to do anyway.

CHHL-Yeah our date for finalization is supposed to be June 6th but it really seems like it is going to draw out for a really long time, (as he keeps changing his mind on stuff) so frustrating. Half my house is packed-just in case. I was just wondering how much heads up I would have to move out. 

Ask the housing office how long a reevaluation can take after divorce. You can always ask for an extension, however keep in mind if his BAH stops ( like I said I know none of your details) you would have to cough up the rent.

Try to work that into the divorce if you can. So sorry you are going through this. Hugs. 

I knew someone at ft Riley she had 30 days after her divorce to clear. Plus your suppose to give a 30 day notice anyways 

Lemondrop....start saving money NOW for first month rent and deposit. 

Welcome back MO :) 

Thanks....

I am NOT APOLOGIZING.......

Have you read about Nelson Mandela? He was thrown in a African prison unjustly. And he made the best of every moment.

I did the same and would do it again.... 

I don't think anyone asked for an apology, unless they PM'd you. It's been 3 days and it's great that you made the best of it. I wouldn't really bring anything back up in case it starts another brawl... its not worth anyone getting iced, banned, or topics deleted. Think happy thoughts :-) 

So no ones taking the bait......really??!!


My comparison to Nelson Mandela? 

What kind of bait were you expecting us to take and what kind of outcome were you hoping for? If it was an argument and debate then I doubt anyone feels it is worth getting into... out of respect for the MODs wishes after what happened last time. 

Oh never mind.

Bacon can you appreciate my ridiculous comparison lol?

Nelson Mandela haha. 

Alrighty then... back to the topic that lemon started.

I would definitely speak to the head of housing in order to get the correct answer. I would hope you didn't have to leave right away but then again it would be nice for you to get settled in elsewhere. Best of luck to you.
