My husband is in the military reserves,he has been gone for over a year state side, yesterday he admitted being involved with another woman and wants a divorce. We have no children and own a house.What can I get to protect myself as I am 51 yrs old.

Under California law, your marriage is a long term marriage, and you have specific support rights based upon your circumstances. You may be a candidate for spousal support until death or remarriage. If the house was acquired during the marriage, it is presumed to be community property.
I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
You will find some valuable information on various family law issues including spousal support at my web site.
Good luck to you!

If you haven't been served with a Summons and Petition yet, I would advise you to file and have him served soon.
