Unhappy Advice for Military Wife

My daughters husband joined the Army. She is now pregnant with her first child and he is away at AIT. Now that my daughter is pregnant HE has decided that he just wants to be friends, HELLO you decide that before you get married get your wife pregnant (both being what HE begged when she wanted to wait). She gave up her job, her apartment everything in preparation to be with him when he gets stationed. Now she can't eat, sleep, she cries all day and the stress isn't good on her or the baby. She is scared, pregnant, and feels so alone. Is there anything she can do?

They're married?

Then she can divorce her "friend". And see how friendly he wants to be then.

And get whatever benefits she and her baby are entitled to. Which in the military may be considerable, depending on the length of the marriage, and which the baby may be entitled to as a dependent.

Think money. Sounds like he is a real loser.

It has got to be so tough on her, but I think she should look into a divorce or legal separation. I'm not pro divorce, but it sounds as though this guy could put her through years of pain. This is also not a great situation for the baby.

First I want to say be there for your daughter to pull her through, her heart is broken and now that she's with child she will need all the strength and encouragement that she can get.
Now, She's married to a man who is now a GI, the baby will be qualified for all the benefits we the wifes get being married into the Military.
Once he's stationed, whereever that may be, get in contact with his supervisor, you can do this by calling the base and asking for the husbands supervisor.
They can help you from there with this situation.
It just sounds like he's trying to walk away from the responsibilities that's to come, well he'll get a big surprise.
I hope this helps, If you have any other questions feel free to contact me.
Good Luck and Hang in there.
