Repeal the Uniformed Spouses Protection ACT.

Created by T.R. on December 12, 2012

USFSPA discriminates against members of the Military who become divorced by subjecting them to mandates for the distribution of marital assets not applicable to other government employees (including members of Congress) and private citizens of the United States. This is inimical to the guarantee of equal justice under law provided by the constitution.

Unlike civilians, retired members of the Uniformed Services must meet, for life, certain obligations to their 'former employer,' while (cheating) ex-spouses, who share these benefits, share none of the obligations. Moreover, by a series of remarriages, an ex-spouse may qualify for USFSPA payments from multiple sources while a succession of Uniformed Services retirees remain indenture.
