Answer by lisab
The marriage thing doesn’t play any factor with promotions and the foreclosure might hurt you if you have a clearance. You should make efforts to clean up any debt and you will have no problems.

   Neither one should *directly* affect your promotion. Divorce is essentially a null issue, as long as you fulfill the requirements of the divorce (alimony, child support, whatever) Foreclosure could be problematic for your performance report. The military is very big on financial responsibility. If you are doing what you can, things shouldn’t be too bad. Just be sure to keep your supervisor and command informed, and everything should work out fine.

   If the divorce wasn’t your fault — i.e., you weren’t cheating on your wife and you weren’t abusive… like that — divorce is way too easy to grant and it happens often and it shouldn’t affect anything.

   Foreclosure, if resulting from the divorce shouldn’t either. But if you have a history of late payments, defaults, i.e., of being unable to manage your personal affairs, it can affect your clearance and possibly your career.

   I’d make absolutely certain EVERYTHING is documented — the divorce, the settlement, what steps you took to try to save the marriage and to make payments on the mortgage, the marriage and financial counselors with whom you spoke, and records that prove you meet your legal obligations with respect to the divorce… CYA.
