Divorced military spouses trapped in foreign countries
Original: ‘This can’t keep happening’: How divorced military spouses get trapped in foreign countries
CNN reports on how former spouses of US service members can become stranded abroad after divorce. Under international agreements governing US forces overseas, civilian spouses who lose their military-linked status may lose legal residence, visas and access to bases, leaving them stuck in countries where they lack independent immigration status. Critics say the rules leave vulnerable women effectively trapped, and families affected are calling for legal changes so that a divorce does not cost a parent their home, mobility or custody of their children.
Why now: The report highlights a little-known legal gap affecting military families that sparks sympathy and demands for reform.
