How long have you been married?

You probably need a consult with a local attorney.

Your rights are the same as everyone else. Please read the posts on this forum for an idea.

In general, you will be entitled to 1/2 of marital assets, including the marital share of his military pension. You will also generally get 1/2 of marital debt.

Alimony can sometimes be awarded, but if he's military, his salary is probably not high enough for that to be a lot - even if you've been married a long time. General info on WI alimony:

One way or the other, you're going to have to learn to live on what you make. That means cutting expenses, working more hours, or getting a second job. You can't rely on him supporting you forever.

As long as you are a military family member/dependent you are entitled to free legal advice at any military base legal assistance office, regardless of his branch. They cannot represent you in any action but they can provide you with personal advice and assist you with any forms or documents you will need.
