I’ve never heard of a divorce being final on the day of the first hearing, there’s always a set time for reflection before it’s all tied up. Dad...y won’t get off either; you could get him into big trouble for not doing his duty. Allowing desertion as a reason for divorce while you were serving your country will get them in front of an angry Federal judge, and the Departments of Defense and Justice will both want to nail their hides to a wall as an example to others.
