If a settle agreement has a waiver of alimony clause in a settlement agreement, does that make the settlement’s claim for giving money void?
I am a military spouse currently staying in Germany. I am a TX resident; my husband is a GA resident. We’ve been living in Germany for 2 years since after he was deployed. A few days ago, he hired a lawyer and sent me several documents for divorce. I have not signed anything yet, however he threatens me for not giving any money if I do not sign the papers by this weekend. Also, he threatens me that if I hire a lawyer, he will not give any money at all. I
went to a JAG office in the military base, and they said they can only give me advice, not the actual help.

You are wise to not sign anything. Go to the US Embassy and ask them for a referral for an attorney that deals in divorce in the US as well as military pensions, which are VERY different than regular pensions. Do not listen to his threats. They are hollow. Do not waive anything: alimony or pension. Good luck.
