Question: My son is living in Korea until the summer of 2010. He got married one year ago in Georgia, where his military base is. 

How can he get a legal separation while overseas? 

She has sold all of his belongings, drained his accounts, took the car and broke a lease. He is willing to pay his debts but he needs to stop this before it gets any worse.

Question: I am in the Army. My wife and I have been separated for almost two years mostly due to my deployments. My wife is now pregnant with another man’s baby, who she is now living with.

Question: I've been separated from my wife for a few years now. I voiced my request for a divorce about a year and a half ago. 

She is a German national living in Germany. Our marriage was a German one in Germany and was soon thereafter recognized by the U.S. Army. 

How do I go about getting a divorce from her? I don't have to go through that one-year German divorce nonsense, do I?
