You should be aware that even though you have moved to extend time, they can move forward with the divorce after thirty days. If your husband is willing to make concessions to you they would need to be in a written notarized agreement or a court order in order for them to be binding.

Hi!

After being informed from my STB-Ex in March of this year that he filed for an absolute divorce and I finally received the paperwork on May 14th, I receive an email from him stating that he can no longer afford to pay the allotment money that is due to me, but that he would help out any other way that he could. According to military regulation, he is supposed to provide support until the divorce is finalized. At the same time, the STB-Ex informed me that he is due to get remarried next month, but not divulging the date of the marriage and that he and the his future wife are expecting a child in September.

Well, since I was expecting the allotment and he yet again screwed me out of it, I filed a 30 day extension of time to respond to his divorce complaint with the deadline expiration date occuring AFTER he is set to get married again.

I received an email from the STB-Ex and his attorney asking me what they could do to ACCOMODATE the situation and get me to respond to the divorce complaint sooner. My question is if I have the ‘accomodations’ put down in writing and have the STB-Ex sign such agreement, would the agreement be legally binding? Just to get the rest of the details out there, we’ve already gone through ED and the judgement order has been filed and signed by the judge.
