My wife wants a divorce we have 3 kids I am on military disability in order for my kids to keep tricare what percent of custody does my need in order for my kids to still be covered? My wife is stating she has to have 51% I have raised and taken carr of our kids for the past 6 years by my self damn near. (Needless to say they are my world) she is a E1 with no car no family care after the divorce.

I had a conversation with someone the other day. As long as the divorce decree specifically states the children are to remain on Tricare provided by whomever is currently providing it you should be fine. I have never seen nor heard of there being a specific percent of custody to maintain insurance.

SPC Joseph Casares - That I do not know. You would have to speak to a JAG about that information

I tried a quick google search and couldn't find anything. I would recommend that if 51% is the number and you agree to that you also get something in the contract that if she leaves the service and no longer has Tri-care custody will be re examined automatically or revert to 50/50 or whatever it would be if Tri-care wasn't an issue.

I believe a dependent is a a full dependent regardless of custody. You need to talk with a military attorney to make sure. But, common throughout all the laws of different States, a parent is financially obligated to support their minor children, and the level of support required often go up when level of custody goes down.

I'd be fine with 50 50 and some custody if thats an option she didn't know how to take care of them I could go out to get a part for a car be gone for 1 or 2 hours trying to find the damn part and she calls me screaming she can't handle them she has no patients
