Hello, I have a question I hope someone can answer. My daughter's husband is stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY and she recently came home for the holidays while his unit is on maneuvers. He has since told her he doesn't want to be married. My question is this: if my daughter's name is not on the post housing lease, is she able to go into the house to retrieve her belongings?

Her best bet would be to contact someone in the FRG and/or the unit to have it set up to where there is a Third Party present while he and she are there when she gets her stuff. I mean, she has a key so I don't see why she can no longer access the residence to retrieve her personal items. But, for safety and legal sakes, I fully recommend a third party be present when she arrives to take her stuff. This way, there can be no He Said/She Said situations nor accusations of theft.

Her name is on the lease -there shouldn't be any reason it isn't. As long as they're married, that's her house. She can go in and get her stuff. I do agree she should contact a third party to help her -I would say have her contact the MPs to be there.

You don't have to wait until he's back for her to get her stuff especially if MPs are there as a third party. She's the resident, she can go and get her stuff without him being there.

Your daughter's residence is the house, she has every right to enter her home and stay there if she chooses. If her husband attempts to bar her from entry to her home she can call the MPs.
