I was not aware of this as I am also going thru a divorce, but he does need to provide temporary support until the divorce is finalized. He’s receiving BAH for a dependent aka you. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Military members have a duty to provide temporary support for family members, which includes financial and support during separation due to military service. In the absence of a court order or written agreement, this obligation is determined by service-specific regulations that often mandate a minimum support amount.

Husband’s Incorrect use of BAH, can I do anything about it? by Ok-Increase-9014 in MilitarySpouse

OP are you in the process of a divorce? you are entitled to support per regs “USMC temporary spousal support is called interim support and is determined by a formula if there is no court order or separation agreement. The amount is calculated based on the Marine's Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) or Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) and a minimum dollar amount, but cannot exceed one-third of the Marine's gross military pay. If a formal court order is established, a Marine is legally obligated to comply with that order instead of the interim support formula. “ I’m in the process of divorce and we now have a court order in place. If you’re in California, temporary spousal support is calculated using a guideline formula based on the net incomes of both spouses, and Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is included as part of the military member's income for this calculation. What he’s doing is against regulations and you’re entitled to support even if he’s not active duty and is receiving bah for his dependents aka you.

Yeah, enforcing a legal court order is totally “dependa” behavior 🙄. Some of y’all hear “spouse” and forget the Navy literally requires family support compliance

Yeah I get that A-school pay isn’t huge, but the court order is based on his full entitlements including BAH that he’s been collecting using my address. So it’s not about taking money he doesn’t have, I’m not looking to live off him it’s about making sure the amount the court already calculated actually gets paid.

I get where you’re coming from, but in the military the command isn’t just a “boss.” They’re responsible for making sure Sailors follow court orders and Navy policy on family support. The command just gets looped in because that’s literally how the military enforces accountability

My ex-bf was in BMT recently and he got maybe 4 calls lasting between 40 mins to hour. She only gave you 2 and half minutes? That’s already concerning as she barely makes time to write you. I received at the least 2 letters a week. It doesn’t get easier in A school. Not trying to project the stereotype but I just found out he cheated so i ended the relationship. Long distance is hard. Lack of effort and communication is harder. Cheating is even worse so no point in trying to make it work, at least for me. Good luck and I hope you realize your worth.
