Divorced military spouses overseas struggle to get home
Original: When military marriages end overseas, some spouses find there’s no easy way home
A report by Stars and Stripes examines the plight of military spouses whose marriages end while they are stationed overseas. Without the service member's status, many lose access to housing, transport assistance and other support, leaving them stranded abroad and facing difficult, costly journeys back to the United States. The issue is drawing attention to gaps in how the military supports dependents after a divorce.
Why now: A new report has highlighted the lack of support systems for ex-spouses of service members living abroad.
