I drove down twice a year every block leave and they stayed with me for two weeks at a time. When I got orders to Japan we agreed it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for them and so the kids came to live with me. After that I picked a spot close to her parents and she moved to the same state.

The Army doesn’t recognize joint unless you have the higher percentage example 60 you 40 her. If she has more than you, you will have to live in the Barracks so it will be hard to ever have your kids. Meaning you will not qualify for bah with dependents MSG Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 02 Apr 2019 21:40:14 -0400 2019-04-02T21:40:14-04:00 Response by MAJ Javier Rivera made Apr 2 at 2019 9:42 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-arrangements-did-you-have-for-your-kids-who-are-with-the-other-parent-in-another-state?n=4509053&urlhash=4509053 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Each case is different, you need to seek counsel from a family lawyer.
