Would he still receive BAH for him and his spouse ? They have no kids but just needs to spend some time alone from each other. Will he receive partial and she will get full BAH

Here is the proper answer. Per AR 608-99, if there is no set amount on a separation agreement or court order, then she is entitled to an amount equal to the BAH type II non locality rate with dependents.
He can find that exact amount via the dfas website.

He will receive the full amount of bah. However, she is entitle to a portion of that allowance. I believe it is 50%. He needs to go to legal to figure out what the exact "spousal support" amount is per military standards.

Although the answers provided are correct based on those Soldiers situation, I would highly recommend you take the Soldier to legal to ensure he gets the correct answer based upon his situation.
