Please go to the above link, fill out the form and ask this committee to repeal USFSPA. Let those who are divorced be free from the insane belief that a former spouse of a military person deserves being paid for life by those who served.
Todays military spouse has more benefits and job career opportunities than those in the general public. They get job placement OVER (before) veterans.
Joining the armed services is voluntary and so is marriage. No one should be paid for life simply because they said "I do." End this "cottage industry".
Have all of your family and friends also ask for repeal of this law that leaves those who served a tin can and cardboard box when they divorce and the former spouse gets a penthouse.
Those who served should not be the only people in the US who are forced to pay a former spouse for life out of wages "earned after divorce."
Civilians get a chance after divorcing and so should those who served.
The reasons for granting these former spouses pay for life makes no sense as most of them remarry another person in the armed services. The real winners are the attorneys.
