Does this apply?
BAH-DIFF the housing allowance amount for a member who is assigned to single-type quarters and who is authorized a BAH solely by reason of the member's payment of child support. A member is not authorized BAH-DIFF if the monthly rate of that child support is less than the BAH-DIFF amount.
If so go see your finance team at BN or BDE level and ask them what THEY need to process your request. I say it that way as, it SHOULD be black and white, but end of the day what I cite from a reg, what I remember from my days assiting SM's getting this done means nothing if your servicing finince office has a differnt process or requiernment, good or bad, that is the process you will need to follow to get it done.

This is from regulation. I think you are confused. I am in this boat. If your Child Support is more than BAH-DIF then you get full BAH instead of Partial BAH at the single rate. When I went to my finance with my divorce decree they saw my child support payment and left my BAH at the full rate.
"It depends on whether or not the member has legal and physical custody of any children, pays child support, and/or lives in single-type Government quarters. If a member has legal and physical custody of children, then the member is authorized BAH at the with-dependent rate if not assigned adequate family-type Government quarters. If the member’s former spouse has custody and the member is paying adequate child support (at least in an amount of the member’s BAH-DIFF rate) the member is authorized BAH at the with-dependent rate if not in Government quarters or BAH-DIFF if assigned single-type Government quarters."
