Is an emotional affair grounds for dishonorable discharge in military?
This may be hard for you to understand, but they are military personnel, not slaves, they have the same rights as someone in civilian life. Unless the affair is between a commissioned officer and enlisted personnel, or the affair is coerced, the military won’t involve itself. I will add, that it sounds as if you are better off without him. He doesn’t exactly sound like the military poster child. Go see a competent attorney that has experience dealing with the military. You need to make sure that the child support is deducted from his pay each month and sent directly to you.
