A: There is no quick answer to your question.

You need more help than you can receive here on Yahoo! Answers.  Fortunately for you, the U.S. Navy provides assistance with simple legal issues for servicemembers and their spouses.

Make an appointment at the Naval Legal Service Office on base.  The U.S. naval bases in California are fairly large and well-staffed.  You will probably find that the military attorney there can not only advise you on what to do but also provide you with the paperwork needed.

You might also try U.S. Armed Forces Legal Assistance.
