If my spouse and I share legal custody, and he will be paying child support, will only he receive BAH diff or can he still get full BAH? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-my-spouse-and-i-share-legal-custody-and-he-will-be-paying-child-support-will-only-he-receive-bah-diff-or-can-he-still-get-full-bah <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I’ve done some research but thought I’d come here to get more information. My husband and I are going through a divorce. He’s the service member and we have a daughter together. We plan for me to have physical custody and share legal custody (he will be paying child support). Will he receive bah diff only or can he still get bah? Thanks for the help and advice.

In addition, it should talk about visitation, every other weekend, summer breaks, Xmas breaks, father’s day, etc. Since he’ll need a place to have his child for visitation purposes, he’ll need a place to live (not the barracks). Which means he’ll be receiving BAH at the with dependents rate. But again, the divorce decree must say 50% shared custody or something along those line for him to receive BAH.
