I am a service member and I am stationed overseas and my spouse remained stateside. While being out here i found out he was cheatimg and have proof. Now I am trying to divorce my spouse. However, he is not speaking to me and has me blocked everywhere and changed his phone number. In order for me to start my divorce I need his social security number which he won't give up because he doesn't want to get divorced. Is there another route I can take?

Hi,

Thank you for your service.

My only area of expertise is Social Security, and you couldn't get your spouse's SSN from Social Security due to the privacy act. One possibility that comes to mind is if you have access to copies of any joint tax returns that you've filed, his SSN should be on those. I don't know what other options you might have.

Best, Jerry
