Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Am I entitled to half of my husbands reenlistment bonus if we divorce?
My husband and I are separated. We
have been married a year and a half.
Recently he told me that he was
reenlisting for a large bonus and he
was traveling to a tax free area to do
so. During out marriage, I paid all of
the bills, bought him anything he
asked for and helped him get his
credit straightened out. I helped to
pay off a 10,000 credit card bill that
was his ALONE. I saw it as investing
in a future together, he saw it as a
free ride. Am I entitled to any of this
money that he will be getting from
the reenlistment? We will still be
married when he does it.

Sure, if you can somehow lay your hands on it, e.g., if he were to deposit some of it in a jointly-held account, you could withdraw whatever was there.
