My wife’s COC is trying to kick her out of barracks. Is there a regulation for that?

Can my wife’s chain of command kick her out the barracks even though neither of us are receiving BAH and she doesn’t have a place to stay? She’s also pregnant, is there a regulation we should look up?

You said you're married …. did you notify DEERS? Have you done a 5960 to update your BAH? Have you looked for an apartment? Why would her CoC continue to allow a married Soldier to live in the barracks? Yes, there is a grace period after getting married. There is no ETP I've even seen that allows children in the barracks. Both of you should have started planning where to live before you got married.

Well Major you are some what correct
These are young soldiers who need guidance.
If she or he is not collecting Housing allowance the she can stay for awhile
But all I see in these post is that the CoC has let this soldier down
Most leaders today are to lazy to help They just kick the can down the road
The way you stated your response I would bet you would not be the first person to give kind advice
THANK GOD I AM RETIRED AND DO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE LACK OF LEADERSHIP OF TODAY MILITARY

MSG Reid Zohfeld - I agree new/young Soldiers need guidence, but they also need to inform leadership and ask questions. You don't know if the leadership let down either individual because we don't know what was said or done - hence my questions.
I married a barracks SPC early in my career with a kid. I had to ask questions and figure out where to live.
Believe it or not, many Soldiers come to me for advice and with questions because I have expirence. Kind or not, I give regulation answers that support the question.

Major I knew 99% of everything my soldiers where doing
I made my business to mold mentor and protect my soldiers
I would know if this was one of my soldiers
You are correct that I do not know if this young soldier CoC let him down but I will bet they knew since she was getting kick out of the barracks and she would collect housing allowance for just being pregnant
I see lack of leadership in the military from the very top down
And correct they are soldiers and should take responsibility

um, you are married, she is pregnant, and both of you are still in the barracks? did you two get married yesterday?? And yes, the COC can. Apply for BAH, which you should have done the next duty day you were available. Copy of marriage certificate, and the forms to apply for BAH, and BAS. An appointment with the housing office, and looking into the lending closet for essential items (like a bed, pots pans and dished etc etc.). Seems to me you dropped the ball on this one, because I think the CoC gave her a time frame in order to vacate the barracks, which is for single Soldiers.
Little bit of further advice, I am not aware what rank she is, but I can tell you sincere honesty, make an appointment with the family center, you are definitely going to need assistance, Like WIC, and other social assistance programs, better to get all this set up prior to the baby being born, and then finding out you need help afterwards, as these things take some time to process. Be as proactive as you can, mission allowing, to get as many ducks in a row as you can now, before it effects things later on down the line.

I think Maj. Garbarini said it all. You and your wife have some personal responsibility here. We do no not have the entire picture. Where are the two of you stationed and what paperwork did you submit.
