Hey guys, my dad is a disabled vet and he’s going through a super sudden divorce after being married for over 10 years. It’s all happening so fast, and I’m trying to help him out as much as I can. Does anyone know of any resources or referrals that could help him with the divorce? He needs someone who understands disability income too. Thanks in advance!
That sounds really tough. I’d recommend checking out the Veterans Legal Institute. They help vets with legal stuff like divorces.

Oh, I’ve heard of them! Do they work with income issues too?
@Frost
Yeah, they do! They can help navigate the financial aspects. Definitely worth a shot.
Also, the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs has resources. They might have some good advice for your dad.

Thanks for the tip! What kind of resources do they offer?
@Vlad
They provide legal help and support services for veterans. It’s really helpful.
I would also suggest looking into local support groups for veterans. It can really help to talk to people who get it.

That’s a good idea! Just having someone to talk to can make a huge difference.
@Mal
Exactly! Plus, they might know about other resources too.
Don’t forget about counseling services. The VA offers mental health support that could be really beneficial for him.

Oh, I didn’t think about that! Emotional support is so important during a divorce.
@Rose
For sure! It helps to have someone to talk to about everything.
Wishing your dad all the best. It’s a tough time, but there are people and resources out there to help!
