My husband divorced me and it was final last week. He was an E9 in the Air Force. We were married for 22 years, he was in the military for 25 years and all of our married life he was enlisted. In order to get my new ID card I need a copy of his Form DD214. He refuses to give it to me. I just dont know what to do. I only have until the end of this month to get my new ID card. Please help.
Optional Information: State/Country relating to question: Oklahoma Already Tried: I have contacted my lawyer. She would contact his lawyer, but he told his lawyer last week that he never wanted to hear from her again. I went to pass and ID on base. They are trying to request a copy of this form for me, but he said it would take over 30 days.
Hello and thank you for using Just Answer. I'm an attorney with a legal career spanning 13 years and I will be assisting you today.You need to contact your lawyer again and ask that a clarifying order be granted making your husband give you the DD Form 214 or be in contempt of court.That really is the only recourse when you have such a short period of time. You have to explain to your attorney that they need to press for an emergency order and an emergency contempt hearing.
The lawyers didn't add anything in the decree about him providing me with the DD214. There is nothing in there that will cover me. The only things in there in regards XXXXX XXXXX military are the SBP benefits and how much Retirement I am entitled to.
That's why I said that you need to ask for a clarifying order. That will alter the decree to include this requirement.
