We have a son who is just shy of a year old. We had on post housing, but I’ve gotten out of the housing and am currently staying with friends until the divorce is finalized.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don’t necessarily think what you pay in child support matters as that is not the Army’s doing, as I had a PFC paying California based child support, which was pro rated as he would have nothing left over if he paid the court ordered full amount. I believe if you have any custodial rights you receive BAH. To qualify for on post housing as a single Soldier with a dependent child you don’t have primary custody of you may need X amount (50/50) to qualify.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>check with your unit leader(s), also check with legal services, JAG, etc. to make sure .. and know that how your units is mostly on base/post or mostly training in the field a lot and your child/children is properly taken care of accordingly
