Got a military question

Dear nicole71886:

Greetings. No, he cannot get an immediate divorce in North Carolina, even under the circumstances and he needs to be careful, because he may need to file contesting paternity prior to the date of the divorce so that he is not the presumed father of the child.

You will need to speak with a military attorney about the court marshall. Thank you.

my fiance is overseas and he’s friend has some problems and questions. I told him i would research for him so here iam. his friend’s wife was sent home early from iraq because she became pregnant while in iraq. (which means she obviously cheated on him) which you probably already know is against military law. he said she will get court marshalled, is that possible? and he also wanted to know if he could get a divorce that would go into affect almost immediately(as fast as the paper work will go through) because of the fact that she was brakeing military law?
