No, that's not true. In circumstances where the child is his, biological or adopted, she could file a petition with the courts. The fact is that all this talk of alimony and such just doesn't apply, they would of had to have been married for ten years for her to have a claim.
Even then it's up to a judge to give it to her/him. A lot of people think it's automatic, and it's not. Especially in states, like NC (which has a large number of military) with no-fault divorce. Child suppport on the other hand...
1. Do not involve your marriage issues with your husbands job. Things are getting tight now on re up...and if he wants career military, you could really mess that up. Don't be vindictive.
2. Do ask to see a base spouse support counselor....and discuss your issues, about a job, money, possible separation....or even use Tri-Care to get counseling.
ON June 20 2014 My son got discharged from the Army His wife kicked him and her son out 2 weeks later and she still in the army he has a record of depression and now its worse does the army teaches you to go awall on your family when things go wrong and don't they care about them after they destroy everything he had Now the mother wonts her child back for a week so he can get his 5 month shots so the army wont get her for unfit mother What up Army
Since your son is prior Service he knows exactly what to do to while he is still legally married to an SM. As far as the child is concerned his medical needs are totally covered as his Mother is AD. Again, your son should know what to do to ensure that his child receive medical care (unless he was discharged before completion of BT/AIT).
If your son is not divorced he is still covered by Tri-care under her. Hopefully he got a dependent ID when he left the service. He can get mental health services as a dependent either at a military or a civilian doctor. If he doesn't have an ID, and she refuses to assist him in getting one, he should contact the nearest military installation for help. He can start by contacting Army Community Service, if nothing else they can steer him to someone to help.
Divorced or not, he is allowed to take the child to the doctor on a military base as custodial parent of a military dependent. If he remains the custodial parent, and gets divorced from the mother, he will get a special ID to be able to obtain services for the child on a military base. It is not necessary for the child to go to her for a week to receive these services.
This is not the Army's fault. The Army tries to do the right thing, more than any other employer would at this point. I suspect there is way more to this story.

I have a question as well my husband got a counseling his first counseling and he told me that his battalion is making him do extra duty he leaves home at 5 usually gets home at 6 and je says they can keep him as late as 12:00pm for the whole week and he has to work 9-5 the whole weekend can they do that ?
Of course they can. Here, it's called "extra military instruction."
Actually they can't under EMI (Navy acronym for Extra Military Instruction). EMI has specific rules and the question from anono19 would be way outside the rules for EMI. I have no idea what the Army regulations are though.
Of course they can, it is called 'working for the 1st Sgt'.
or it could be extra duty to get ready for 2406 reporting time. Maybe the hangar queens are killing you.
maybe an IG is coming up.
maybe preparation for training or deployment.
Could be lots of reasons.
