A friend of mine is going through a divorce and his wife is leaving, with their daughter. She’s claiming he owes her $7xx.xx a month in some sort of family separation pay? Now he’s all for having to pay it but she’s claiming it’s some sort of regulation and is saying it’s required from each pay check or something to that degree. We’ve both been trying to find where ever it says he’s required to pay her x amount while separated and going through the process of a divorce, but can’t. Does anyone have any input or something they can explain or add to clarify this situation for us? Is he required to pay her anything? What are his options?

Sounds like she is looking for spousal support. He should not pay a dime unless a court order has been issued.

Need to talk to a JAG, they are going to have the most up to date regs. Anything else is just speculation, and could really cost them... Best of luck!

Required to give BAH but I'm not finding anything requiring Separation Pay to be handed over.
AR 608-99 Family Support, Child Custody and Paternity is the reg to look into.

Do you know where within 608-99 it says this? Currently all I’m seeing is the pro-rata rate
