What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD

My ex stopped working last month. I dont know if it was voluntary or not. I called his job and they said he left because he has a tour of duty. I found that weird cause he has been visiting so obviously he wasnt away on a tour of duty. I found out a couple months ago from him that he joined the reserves. yesterday i called DFAS to confirm if he was a reservist or full time enlisted. they said he is just a reservist and there is no upcoming tour of duty.

I also found out that my son's benefits have been cancelled for almost a year. When I recently took him to the doc was for a checkup and I had to use my insurance. I am pretty sure he cancelled his coverage so that he could save some extra money per month.

I am no longer getting child support. I am trying to figure out what my next move should be. I dont discuss money issues with him, but I just dont want to file for contempt if the case is that he is about to start another job. As of now, DCSEA has no information of any new income. I could report the reserve job but reservits only get paid for drills. as far as I know he is unemployed. Normally I would just tell myself to file for contempt but I want to see if there is somethign that could be done without going to court.

What should I do..just file for contempt...ask him has his employment situation been resolved....what? thanks in advance

thanks my new question is that in case I do have to file, serve him, it is possible that he may have to go overseas. Is it difficult to serve military personnel legal papers when they are overseas

I thought you said he is not scheduled for a tour of duty? You are correct, the Soldiers and Sailors Act will protect him from having court cases decided without him during deployment.
