Hugs!
I agree to check with an attorney ASAP. In some states 10 years is a "magic number" for the amount of years to be married to get the most of your DH's retirement/pension so be sure to ask him about it since you are so close to 10 years.
We are battling DH's ex over child support (he is AD Army) and have learned a few things the hard way - like the fact that his BAH is considered income in the eyes of the court and his CS is based not only on his salary but his BAH as well. Also your girls will be covered with TriCare and you should be until the divorce is final so if there is any dental work or any doctor visits you need for you then get those scheduled soon. Find an attorney who has experience dealing with military issues - I can't stress this one enough! DH has really been taken to the cleaners by his ex (that is why we are back in court with a new attorney now) - that's a whole other thread...
Stay strong for your sweet little girls.
