I’d really appreciate some help and advice so that I can support my dear friend.
She has been married to a serviceman for over 20 years and he has called it a day.
They live in military housing with their children. One is 7 the other 17.
He is moving out tomorrow. She will have 93 days to move out.
She wants to move nearer to family and that is across the country from where she is now.
I know she will get help moving to a council property, but how does this work when she will be moving with one child and the other might follow later but will turn 18 in July? He will keep living in the house after she moves out. The eldest is doing exams this year and will stay there to complete.
I think she will be getting some advice from SSAFa this week but I wanted to know the extra bits that would be helpful or people who have experienced this. How best can I help her? I am not local to her and so can’t help her practically or even give her a hug.
Plus any other advice for separating and divorce.
I’ve read enough relationships threads over the years to have advised her to take screen shots of bank details, photos of shared assets etc. She is finding her strength and I know she will find that angry strength soon. I’ve told her that he isn’t on her side anymore and that he is already trying to make her the bad guy to justify his decision. There’s a script and he’s following it, that’s for sure.
Am I confused or is there a divorce lawyer on here that people suggest?
I’ve looked at the forces board but it’s pretty dead so hoping someone here will be able to help.
Thanks in advance.
