MILITARY FAMILY LAW 101: How does remarrying affect the benefits awarded to you in a military divorce? First, let’s start with the retirement pay. That would not be affected by your remarriage, as it is considered a split of marital property and is stated in your divorce decree. If your ex-spouse passes away, and you are covered by the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) as a “former spouse”, your benefits through SBP would stop if you remarried prior to age 55. If that marriage ends due to death or divorce, your SBP benefits would restart. You will lose military health care benefits PERMANENTLY if you remarry. Finally, base privileges including the commissary, exchange and recreational facilities would be terminated upon remarriage, but could be reinstated in the event the marriage ends.
