Military Divorce

I would consult with your JAG attorney, you may still be a citizen of your former state and that state may have a shorter waiting period in North Carolina. The year that you are delopyed will count towards your separation and you can file in this state if he is still stationed here.

My husband and I have only been married for 3 months. We are both in the Marine Corps. I’m currently stationed in Japan and he is in North Carolina. There was a situation that happened and my husband now realizes that he does not wish to be married anymore. We don’t own anything together, have kids, or anything to that sort. What is the easiest and quickest way to get a divorce? Also, what are the terms for an annulment? And because my orders are for two years, does the first year that I’m here count as being “legally separated” ? Does being stationed in another country make the divorce process harder? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
