Full Disclosure!   Divorce and the Military II ISBN 0-9639850-1-9  YOU MUST READ THIS TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES BOOK Discover how the unpublicized Federal Uniformed Services Former Spouses enforcement policy punishes career, Military, PHS and NOAA personnel! Check out the Table of Contents!   The Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act (USFSPA) was implemented ostensibly to protect deserving uniformed service member former spouses. Ironically, it created a class of service member victims larger than those it was designed to assist. The American Retirees Association (ARA) was founded in 1984 specifically to address the numerous inequities found in Title 10 USC 1408 et seq (USFSPA). ARA is a 501(c)(19) Veterans Support Organization (VSO), chartered in California, as Tax Exempt Corporation 1551226, with Federal Tax Exemption ID 33-024676. Our field membership is comprised of all male and female members of the Uniformed Services, residing across the United States and around the world.
