Im so stressed I dont know what to do!
My husband finished boot camp in April 10. He is in San Antonio hes a corpsman in the Navy and has not been wanting to send me money. We have a joint account and He cancelled my card and started wasting in going clubbing, and getting tattoos etc. We have a one year old daughter and he seems not to care whether she has something to wear or not. or if she eats or not. All he cares is about himself. I'm sick and tired of everything he has done to hurt me, He cheated on me and is not sending me money. He wasted last paycheck entirely ... he has an Iphone and had just bought a new one.. he supposedly returned it and i'm supposed to be getting back the money but its been 10 days and nothing. I do work but its not enough. I don't think its fair hes wasting all the money and not giving my daughter and I anything. It hurts to see he rather spend money going clubbing etc then buying his own daughter even a pair of shoes. I'm so devastated about everything that's been happening. They told me to file for child and spouse support but I have no idea where to start all this is so complicated... I cant believe this is happening to me... but well I need advice . I don't know who to go to or what to do. I'm so stressed out. Any advice where to start ?

The Navy does not like it when a sailor does not support their dependents. You are entitled to half his base pay, the child gets a third, and you should get ALL the BAH (seen that happen to a chief, don't have an instruction for that). Yes, he will get in trouble and likely lose his liberty privileges. Good.
Contact his command, start with the Administrative Assistant to the Commandant, they will figure out who to contact. Here is the link with contact info:

Good luck.
