Clark. I am a 120% disabled service connected veteran. Iam 68 years old. I served 2 tours in Vietnam as an US Army Ranger. I was awarded the Bronze Star w/v device for heroism, along with other combat related medals. I met my wife in the VA hospital who was my care provider. I purchased a home here in Conway June 10, 2014. My wife who still works for the VA in NY, cannot retire until 3 more years, therefore she still lives in NY and I here in Conway. I applied for tax exemption because I am severely disabled and I am eligible for tax exemption. However, I was told that I have to be legally separated which leads to divorce in order to qualify for the exemption. My wife can't become a resident here because she is still working and living in NY. I was told I couldn't even get the 4% resident tax even though I live, vote, and register my car here and only visit my wife in NY every three months and only stay for a week. She can't register to vote or register her car here because she works in NY. The County is trying to force me to Divorce.Imlove my wife and she loves me. Why is the County doing this? Please help me!
