You gotta hand it to her. She has the opportunity to help throw him under a bus, and she was the bigger person.
Well, she said 'comfort' and sure, but it's also support, as in child support
I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure the army will make sure the kid is taken care of regardless. They don't allow deadbeat dads.
They don't even take care of veterans properly, I doubt they'll take care of the kid.
Well he's still technically in the army so he should get paid, and seeing as he's indisposed at the moment, no reason why it shouldn't go to her. Unless he took her off his beneficiary list, though I doubt he did.

I think child support is already being paid as soon as she said she is going to divorce him. It doesn't require him to agree. The military will just garnish his wages.
I think he may be technically AWOL, which probably complicates things... Not sure how that would work.
Lol what are you talking about?
They will garnish your wages. As a service member you don't have the same rights in court. If parentage is established, the military just starts sending a chunk of your paycheck to the custodial parent.
That doesn't mean Jack to a lot of deadbeats. Hence the name "deadbeat"
Do you know what it is to garnish wages? They just cut a check to the custodial parent. The would be deadbeat grunt just doesn't get his money to make payments on a jixer or Camero or whatever.
Also thinking about her daughter's well-being in all this - all in all not your average kind of person.
