Which is what I said from the beginning. If he were to admit in a civilian legal proceeding, it could be used against him in a military proceeding. it makes perfect sense, from his standpoint, to use the 5th. it protects him from the UCMJ, and possibly anything in the VA court. If he did lie, then you also have the issue of a false statement, perjury, which would be a totally different offense, and he could be prosecuted for that. They may actually have done nothing about the adultery in the AF, but if they have a statement from him, and he nows says something different in VA. new charges are possible.
Not saying it is right, or fair, but it is understandable, as to why he would do that.

He has made so many false statements! He thinks he's such a skilled liar. Maybe all this will teach him not to lie so much, but I doubt it. His cross-complaint is peppered with false statements. I halfway feel sorry for him.

feel no pity, he is doing this to himself. he will reap what he sows. You can understand what he is doing, and why he is doing it. it does not lessen the feeling of injustice, and lack of fairness, but you are starting to see that it is not something you have control over. That may help you start to focus on the things yuo can control.

I certainly understand your impatience. Multiply your impatience by, oh, a GAZILLION, and that's what I've been dealing with.
Judge says we can set a hearing after Dec. 30. Hope it works this time.
Meanwhile, I'll try not to post so much.

Post as much as you want, just don't let this consume you. I have been in your shoes, but add a child to the mix. I did not sleep, my anxiety was thru the roof, I did not eat for days, I cared about things that matter little in court. When you get to court you will realize that all of these things you worry about mean NOTHING to the judge, and he/she may not even hear you or your concerns. It is just not worth it...at all.
So now I say with much sincerity..."rid yourself of this loser!"
