What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
Hopefully someone has some experience with this. I am divorcing my wife of 8 years, she has a lawyer and I do not. We are currently living on base (so i do not receive BAH or Basic Allowance for Housing). She intends to take my daughter and move out of state to Washington State after the divorce. According to the military, because she is moving out of state and will not have frequent visitation, I will no longer be allowed to live on base, which means I will have to start getting BAH to pay for a house/apartment. When I am filling out the financial affidavit, and when the court considers the amount of CS I am to pay, do I factor in the BAH that I am not currently receiving, and won't until the divorce is finalized?
She insists that I should include it but it doesn't sound right to me. I am not trying to be a cheapskate but I don't want to pay more than I am supposed to because I didn't know any better, and I am concerned that if the amount is based on my BAH here, if and when I was stationed elsewhere it could put me in financial jeopardy if I can't get a modification through the courts quickly enough.
Anybody have a clue?
