History: We have brought you the story of Jerry Bohr, a Disabled Veteran (60%) who also serves as an Iowa state Veteran Service Officer and how he has been ordered to jail for "Contempt of Court" in his divorce case where the County judge has ordered his Disability Pay to be used as a divisible asset. The sentence was handed down 2 weeks ago by Judge Richard D. Stochl, 1st Judicial District Court of Iowa, for noncompliance of a previous child support order. It is this previous order which has led to Bohr’s incarceration. Jerry Bohr refused to comply with his divorce settlement agreement which wrongly calculated his VA disability compensation into his divorce as ‘income’ and therefore a ‘divisible asset’. Bohr was found in contempt of court for not honoring the attachment of his veteran’s benefits to his divorce settlement, now Jerry Bohr is on his way to jail. According to Federal Code this practice by state court judges is a violation of the Federal laws which protect veteran’s benefits from the claim of creditors, from attachment, levy, or seizure by or under any legal or equitable process whatever, either before or after receipt by the beneficiary.

Status: Jerry Bohr of Ossian, Iowa was ordered to jail on September 4th to begin his 30 day sentence. If he does not agree to the judge's ruling within that time period, the sentence will turn into another 30 days and so on. As ordered, he did report by 5pm on September 4th.

Update: The following link will take you to a recorded conversation with Mr Bohr on September 4th before he had to appear at the jail at 5pm Central. We encourage all who are concerned for our Disabled Veterans to listen to the recording and to keep up to date on this most important issue of "Federal Code 5301". It is often the Disability Pay, earned by giving up one's health in the service of our country, that is the only income a Disabled Vet has and is the only thing that may keep a roof over their head.
