Question: I am asking this on behalf of my son. My son is active duty Navy based on active deployment on an aircraft carrier based in Japan. His wife is in the states, Shreveport, LA. His state of residency is Texas, he was sent to Japan right after they married, a little over 2 years ago. He had to earn a higher rank and go through several processes to get permit for her to come to Japan. He did so and then she decided not to go, now he cannot get that permit again as he goes back to the states next September.
There is a great chance that she will serve him with a divorce. From what I understand, Navy lawyers do not handle divorce cases, that jurisdiction goes back to the states. This is a tough one for him. When the carrier goes out for maneuvers, they could be out to sea for 3 months running. I do not know how to advise him. The question is: how should he proceed in light of the fact that her behavior indicates that the marriage is over. He wants to be in a good position to have control over his divorce because if she takes control it will be hard for him to respond while on active duty.
