Will I receive bah for my child living overseas at his area? The reason I ask is it will take 6 months to get my son and my fiancé to the us.

I can't speak for the Navy, but in the Army the answer is generally no as you'll receive the BAH for the service member's location. There are however all sorts of hidden or little known regulations and I have known people who qualified for BAH for two locations (SM stationed overseas on an unaccompanied tour with no available on post housing or barracks space but had a qualifying dependent stateside).

In the Air Force, you would receive BAH for wherever your dependents are located. Navy may be different though

That Is A Good Question, I Had One Of My Soldiers In Korea. That Had Re -enlisted A Few Time's Over There and Had Child With Korean Women. It Was Fun Trying To Get The Paper Work Done. We Needed The Same Info. You Need To Go The Dears People To Find Out. There Seem's To Be Questions Of Country And Citizenship.
