know how the system works, unless there were some draconian changes.

I made it to Med Plt Sgt, and I recall many a soldier that had trouble w/finance. The Services do not mess around, they do what they are told basically, and your word is worhtless, unless there are scads of paper work, the soldier always loses.

If there is a court order to pay child support, he's going to pay the $700 a month that was ordered. One of the things finance checks is records of such in the courts in the HOR state. They do this while he's being proicessed. Might not get results back immediately, but if it comes up that he owes back child support, he's gonna pay through the nose, all they have to give you is a %age to maintain personal items until you are caught up. If they don't catch this right away and say 90 days down the road, he could owe $2,100, the money will be taken out in increments till it's paid, and the original $700 a month judgement will just keep rolling along and be taken out as well, if it is there, if not, it will just pile up...:(

My daughter was in the Navy and got married to another sailor, he ETS'd to get away from paying her. ANd then there is the back child support that can be pulled from any tax return as well...x(
