Help answer this question below.
Military law is different than civilian law. It's a real specialty in law. You would absolutely need to check with your own attorney for the absolute answer on this. From what I know since my son is in the midst of a nasty divorce and on active duty military, you are entitled to a large percentage of his pay up until a court order says differently. If you have a child, he will have to pay 1/6th of his paycheck for the child regardless of what a civilian court determines child support to pay. With having only been married a short time, you will not be entitled to any alimony under any circumstances. If he's not currently supporting you, you should contact his command. They will make sure that he does so until legal documents say otherwise.
As far as where the divorce is filed and goes to court, for you it depends upon what state you are a legal resident of. If you have been in GA for more than six months, that is your legal residence. For him, he is a legal resident of whatever state his driver's license is in, where ever he lived prior to being stationed there. However, he can still file for a divorce in either state. If he files in a state that is not your legal residence, you can ask the court to have it moved to your state of legal residence.
If you don't have kids leave him be. You have no right to his money after a divorce. Be a big girl.
You are not entitled to alimony in Georgia, but you can make an argument for it.
This article explains it better than I can.
