Is she entitled to any of my earnings while deployed?

Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
As long as you're married to her you're under a mutual duty of support. Presumably you're drawing BAH at the married/with dependent rate, so the bare minimum the Air Force expects you to send her is the difference between the married/with dependent rate and the single rate. If your marital status is getting you more money than you're sending her, relax and bank the profit, and don't rock the boat too hard an argument could be made that you should be sending her the whole BAH since presumably you don't have any housing expense of your own while deployed. On the other hand, if she's actually costing you more money than she's gaining you, or for other reasons you're eager to get a divorce or annulment, you don't have to be on the ground in Texas to file and get the 60-day clock turning.

Can DES do a DNA test without my knowledge or consent?

Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Divorce lawyer at Pelger Law
That's a complicated situation. You would have to file support enforcement proceedings against someone you have now remarried and share a home with? You really need to go to the Family Division, see a counselor and look at the file to learn what is actually going on. Or, hire a lawyer to do it for you. As far as the testing, the Family Division can do mouth swabs on a reputed father if paternity is an issue, but the story sounds suspicious to me. Normally, DNA testing is difficult to get retroactively, is generally done only by court order, and is usually initiated by one of the parties, not the Family Division.

What can we do if neither my husband nor I desire to keep the house?

Sometimes the IRS will agree to a "short sale" meaning the IRS agrees that the sale proceeds go to the mortgage company and they don't enforce their lien against the house. I suggest you hire a lawyer.
