That helps. OK, if you are divorced, you will lose the BAH unless you are allowed to live off-base. I think you have to be an E-5 at least for that to happen. WHILE you are still married, you MAY be required to pay the jerk the equivalent of your full BAQ. You should consult a JAG legal advisor. If the bird is your dependent, and under military law he is, he could demand the equivalent of the BAH. The BAH is the “minimum” in spousal support you could be required to pay.

Talk to a JAG lawyer, not just a clerk or NCO. If your cheating husband doesn’t KNOW he could be entitled to your BAH, so much the better.

I wish you all the best, kid. Sorry you got involved with a jerk.

P.S. One last bit of advice . . . be SURE you don’t get caught in a situation where you have to PAY BACK your BAH to the military. Ouch! So be sure by talking to JAG!
