Former Military Spouse Blog

The Former Military Spouse Blog was established in 2011 when spouses contacted me with concerns about Oklahoma representatives initiatives to propose USFSPA changes that would be retroactive back to June 26, 1981. Oklahoma is still proposing retroactive bills.

There was an immediate concern that these USFSPA proposals would require former military spouses to repay portions of alimony and retired pay perviously received, which could result in thousands of dollars of debt for former military spouses.

The former military spouse blog became a place for current military spouses and former military spouses to learn more about proposals taking place across the U.S. concerning the USFSPA and the division of retirement pay in military divorces.
