Spousal Abuse

[lost_for_words]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I am in indiana and I am a survivor of spousal abuse - my husband is a retired, disabled military vet. we were married for 4 long years and I finally had the police remove him from our home and he was convicted of domestic violence with bodily harm. are their any laws that are provided by the military and do the laws passed by the military supercede that of state law? He has left me here with post traumatic brain syndrome.

I am sorry but if he is no longer active duty or an active reservist, the UCMJ no longer applies to his actions. He may lose his retirement benefits if convicted of certain felonies but I am not 100% sure if that applies to disability benefits.

Military retirees are dropped from retirement rolls only when they are convicted for national security violations under the Hiss Act (5 U.S. Code, Section 8311-8322.) More routine felony convictions typically are not cause for loss of retired pay.
