Spousal Rights
I signed up on this website because my daughter is married to a sailor. They were married when he graduated from boot camp and she is pregnant with his child. He is attending A school and she was all set to join him. After many delays, he just told her that he did not want her to join him, that he was too young to be a husband and father and they were done. Naturally, she is heartbroken. I don't know what to do for her and I don't know what her rights are. He is getting extra pay because he is married, but he will not send her any money. She had to resign from her job due to the pregnancy so is not working. Is there any legal advocate that she can access through the Navy? Would they encourage him to provide some support for his wife? We have a National Guard office here and she is going to see them for some advice, if any, but does anyone know if there is another recourse? Should she call his base? We are looking for any kind advice. Thanks so much.

Craig, thank you for taking the time to send this. You, along with everyone else, have been so helpful. Now, the latest news TODAY is: He spoke with the Chaplain today and he is sooooo sorry and the Chaplain made him see that they could do it and be a family. He said he has been very stressed out and the school is hard etc. etc. etc. She is not rolling over but of course she wants things to be fixed... We will see. Thanks again for the help, sympathy and encouragement.

UPDATE
Dear All, I am sorry to be a pest but I have more information to put out there in hopes someone can give me some good advice on behalf of my daughter. On November 21, 2011, I posted about the behavior of my son-in-law while he was attending A school and his rejection of my daughter etc. He put them into over $6600 in debt, told her to give the baby up for adoption etc. She contacted the chaplain for advice and it ended up that he was sorry and she moved to Groton the middle of January. The baby was born February 17, 2012 but, because of the earlier behavior, his chief decided he was not sub base material and he became classed “undesignated airman”. On February 29, 2012, he was sent to Pensacola for schooling (my daughter thinks for 1 month). I went up to help my daughter (she had a c-section) on February 22, 2012 and left on February 28, 2012. He left the next day and she was by herself. He appeared to have totally turned over a new leaf and was happy to be a new dad, etc. I wanted them to have every chance so I took out a loan and paid off their debt. Yes, stupid. I had him sign a promissory note with a pay schedule of $100 every payday. My daughter called me on March 9, 2012. Since February 29th, he has spent over $1000. He refuses to speak with her. They are to move by April 3rd and were supposed to be scrimping to get an apartment because there is a waiting list for base housing. He appears to be doing all the things he was doing before with no regard for his family. She is stressed to the max and wanted to come home. She is now back with me.
Everything in the house, furniture-wise, belongs to her. The Navy moved it up there but she was told that they would not move it back home to Texas, only to the place in the orders which is Norfolk. She is pretty much convinced that he is not going to be the responsible husband and father she envisioned and our family is recommending she get her stuff and divorce this guy. Unfortunately, we are a household of women and driving a uhaul over 1800 miles, let alone loading up a house full of furniture, is not something we think we can handle. Also, of course, this has been a very expensive experience for me and she has no money. Does anyone have any suggestions on the move and/or legal issues? Thanks for your help.
