Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I returned from deployment to Iraq on Feb 28, 09 and separated from my wife on Mar 03, 2009 after I requested the police to escort me to retrieve my belongings as well as those of my son from my 1st marriage . Did she violate state /federal law when she placed a voice activated digital recorder in my vehicle as well as in my son's room to record conversations between my son and I . I married her April 7, 2006 and now she claims that she is entitled to alimony along with claiming my military and my federal civil service pensions.I still have child support / alimony obligations to my first wife . I do not have children with this woman. She has a condo in her name and she recieves social security along with child support from her ex-husband for her three kids. She and her kids are covered under my health benefits plan even though she has medicare and medicaid for her kids. She has gone to see doctors that are not within the PPO plan intentionally to cripple me financially. I now live in an apartment with my son and I'm worried that with her lies that the court will award her something thus leaving my son and I homeless.

Please let me know where I stand against this gold digger since I don't have assets .

Thank you,

Is a JAG (Judge Advocate General) lawyer available to you? I know at MacDill they have a team of JAG lawyers who, in addition to practicing military law, represent the enlisted in civil matters. A JAG lawyer will know exactly what rights your ex-wives have to your military benefits and personal assets.

If no JAG lawyer, you will need a civilian lawyer who practices family law to protect your assets. I do not, sorry.

Very best of luck to you.
