When your Husband is deployed in the Navy, who takes care of financial status for the wife?

When I was deployed, my wife took care of the expenses, however through internet, I could still check on our account online, email & discuss with her any major issues or purchases if she didn't feel comfortable. The issues can come if he wants to buy something for himself or you while in a foreign port or while on the ship. He should have an amount set aside for him for a bit of food, toilettries, & various other things at least - I had a $30 per month "allowance" which doesn't sound like a lot but if you eat the ships food 3 times a day, it works out fine. I think the answer should be both are to be involved as much as possible, but if there is something that the wife really honestly NEEDS, she should be able to get it without his "permission". It's nice to let him know as soon as is allowable which is true anyways.

It depends.  Yes, we military wives do get paid if there is either a joint bank account set up, or an individual account especially for the wife.  Also, if the spouse has a POA (power of attorney) she could receive access to her husband's funds.\nSeparation pay, one of the other people had that right.  There's also "hazard pay" if the soldier is going into a combat situation.\nNavy is the same as any other military branch (on a fundamental level) as far as benefits and such, I would imagine.

I read that your hubby is in NC til June 2nd.  I take it he is at training down there in J-ville.  When he gets permanent orders (like any thing is permanant?!!), Go visit with him.  Go to the Housing Office.  His command should direct him their as part of his check in being how he is married.  If not, for the Navy it is either part of FISC (Fleet Industrial Supply Center) or FFSC (Fleet and Family Service Center).  The Marine Corp is part of the Navy, so the structure is similar in some ways. \n\nAnyways, You can get off-base housing and he should get extra money to pay for it.  You can also do on-base housing if it is available.  You don't pay for regular on-base housing, but some places have PPV (Private something Venture) which are homes that are subleased to the GOV for housing (money comes out of your paycheck like with off base housing that you sign for through the housing ofice).  Many bases are getting rid of on-base housing because it is getting really expensive to upkeep all those old buildings now.  \n\nAlso, if you have to move, most states have a law that allows military to get out of a lease if they are moving atleast X number of miles away under permanent orders.  Check into the state laws if you think you may ever have to break a lease. \n\nMake sure you are comfortable with the area you intend to move into.  Many bases have some bad areas around them (thugs think the service members are rich!!)  Talk to people at your hubby's command, the housing ofice, at the laundry matt, etc.  They will tell you where not to move.  Go to the area you think you will be interested in at different times of the day to include evening and late night-to see what really goes on there.  Go on a week night and a weekend night, too.  You can also pretend to want to buy a house-realators are good at knowing where not to go (i nobody else will help).  \n\nYou have like 10 or 14 days to live in a hotel for reimbursement (on your husband's order if you are a dependent).  His command may allow him 10 days of free leave for house hunting also.  Make sure he asks or it.  If he's new to the service, they most likely won't offer it to him. Good luck!

NO -- Orders are orders.  We can request certain duty stations, but when the orders come down, we, the servicemembers, do realize that we serve to meet the needs of the service, and not the other way around.\n\nIF you do marry him, then you need to prepare to go back to court and get YOUR divorce orders and custody orders modified yourself.  That is your responsibility.

Definitely check with Social Services.\n\nAlso, if your husband worked, you would be entitled to Social Security benefits from his working contributions.  The amount depends on how much he made throughout the years.  Make sure you check into that - as his wife you have the right to the monthly amount.

If you two are legally married, then if your husband is deployed to any other base, you will both be going together. The military does not force the spouse to leave the other spouse. Only if you are married however. If he is deployed to war...that is a different story. Depending on his job in the military as well. \n\nIf you need anything, feel free to IM.

All of that is true.  But colocation is not guaranteed.  And if you are dual military and children are involved, you are required to sign a dependent care form in case both of you are called to sea (it can and DOES happen).  That means you sign your kids away to someone else so that you're free to deploy.  When my husband and I were both due to roll to sea, we made the decision that he was promoting faster than I was so I got out at my 6-year mark so that our kids would have one parent around.

Military families are well taken care of. They get free healthcare and prescriptions and free living quarters with utilities paid. If they live off post they get additional money for living expenses. My husband has been in for 16 years and he loves his job and his duties as a soldier. He has so many awards, I can't even count them. Some people choose to be a soldier because that's what they want to be in life.

Well I went through the same things so I can tell you EXACTLY what she have to expect to happen. He is already in the army and at his duty station, which mean that she is NOT in his orders. They can get married but they are NOT going to move her or the kids (if any) because they weren't married BEFORE he got the orders. So as far as the military is concerned, the marriage mean NOTHING. After he comes back home for good or get orders to be stationed somewhere else then its a process (About 2-3weeks) (maybe shorter or longer) to get in the DoD system) he have to go through to get his wife and the kids (if any) in the system so that they can be included in his orders next time. My husband is in the Marines and he got orders to Japan. We got married after he received his orders so i had to wait until his two year were up (which will be next month) before me and our child were included in his orders. So from next month on out me and our daughter will be able to travel with him where-ever he goes....if I can answer any more questions just let me know, cause I KNOW 1st hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As far as housing goes once he is stationed at another base or whateva they an get on base housing (if available) if not he can get BHA (Basic Housing Allowance)...which will pay for them to live in civilian housing off-base. So they can get married and YES it can work out even though there is a HIGH divorce rate for the military..it all depends on them if they willing to make it work...(Its hard at times though but they just have to be strong)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not know if you know this but, if you were married to him for at least 10 years while he was an active member of the military you are entitled to half.  This needs to be stated during the divorce.  If it never was talked about then you need to get an attorney and discuss if you are eligible.  If you waved the right to his retirement during your divorce you will never get it the decision is final and non-reversible.  Your divorce attorney can tell you if he is receiving his retirement pay if you are in titled to it.  If not sorry bout your luck, he does not have to tell you unless you take him back to court to increase child support or alimony.

You should probably contact the Child Support Agency for further information if your husband has agreed maintenance payments with them.  FSee below for the link.

being married in the military is hard but i tcan work if you work hard enough for it.  also when he gets to basic they ask if he is married and if he gives an address in new york you get about $1000 more than anywhere eles in the us. and no they dont check.

It's pretty much up to the individual.  Back in the day (decades ago) every thing was paid for so when you got paid you had nothing to spend it on.  If you were wise you saved it, otherwise they would go on spending sprees which usually involved booze and other unmentionables.  If the individual is married it's no different than being married to someone in the military as far as the time apart is concerned.

I have my own checking, my wife has her own and then we have a joint account.   We both contribute to the joint account.  She pays all the bills out of it.   I buy things for me and the house out of mine, she buys things for her and the kids out of hers. If that doesn't work. Take over control of his checking account.  Put him on an allowance.  If he gets it under control then slowly give him his priviledges back.   If he won't let you do that, then divorce him.  See if he can still spend while paying alimony and child support.
