Separated from spouse, we have a child together. I know I'm supposed to give her a set amount per month, can't remember the exact amount (we've agreed on an $600). I'm just curious in case it escalates.
And if an AR could be provided that would be appreciated.

You need a separation agreement that addresses many issues.

The military generally leaves the method of payment to individual service members. ... If the court then issues a wage garnishment order, the custodial parent can send the order to DFAS, which will then subtract child support payments directly from the service member's pay.

You will give the BAH. You will be notified how much. As for child support, that will be between you and your spouse.

BAH and child support is a totally different subject, BAH is designed to paid for housing and the differential in utility, Child support isn't the same amount of BAH, the number factor is on the home of residency, to 15% of a basic paid adding bas only because the Soldier will lose his BAH is correct base pay +Bas - 15% = child support $ the formula you can find it in every child support agency website for each state.
