Re: divorce and army health benefits
I completely agree with my esteemed colleague from North Jersey. His point needs to be emphasized. Health benefits are only a very small part of what your needs will be and what issues will be covered in your divorce proceedings. He has summarized many of them in his answer. You need a good divorce lawyer quickly.
Keep in mind that this information is given based on the scanty facts that you have provided. And no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. In order to be able to rely upon any advice, you need to meet with and retain an attorney, who will be able to give you advice after a full and comprehensive interview. Before you do anything, you should contact an attorney for a full consultation. Feel free to call me to discuss your matter in more detail.

You need a divorce attorney.
Let me summarize what SEEMS to be your situation:
Your spouse has created a painful disaster.
Very very likely, you are going to have to start a divorce. You need to solve some problems in your life and your children's lives, and a divorce is pretty much needed; that is what I understand that you are saying.
Employment, income to pay the family's expenses, is an issue.
You have kids: custody and vistation, and child support are issues.
Child support and college tuition needs to be paid. Measured in tens of thousand of dollars.
You have a house, and maybe some money saved. You have a pension plan; your spouse has a pension plan.
Go see a decent, experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and have the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance. A good attorney could save you thousands of dollars and a great deal of heartache, make your life more manageable, and reduce the harm to the kids. When choosing an attorney, make sure it is someone whose personality works for you, someone you can work with.
