What Is BAQ Fraud? Can Ex Husband Still Collect?
I have a question regarding BAQ(BAS/BAH).
When is a service member not eligible to continue receiving BAQ with spouse?
We have been separated for 10 years.
We became divorced in 2005 and he is still collecting BAQ with spouse. He is an E-9.
We have 2 children together he has no visitation.
He is stationed in Tennessee and I live in California.
He is attempting to avoid resolution of his retirement by stating that we were married for 9 yrs, 7 months.
He was not paying guideline child support (CA) for many years until October 2005.
I have many unpaid medical bills for our children and he will not contact tricare to help with billing issues.
He tricked me into allowing him to claim me and our kids on previous tax returns, stating that I had to or he’d lose the extra money from VHA/BAQ (I have copies of his tax records from 2000).
Is this proper for an E-9?
Your help would be greatly appreciated
I am an ex military spouse and veteran. Yes it is fraudulant when you were separated longer than six months. So it is improper. I think you should call the Jag office on base and his commander directly and tell them. Believe me they won’t be too surprised. Tell the about all the child support your missing. My question to you is why did you wait so long. I would take this opportunity to get your money out of this to pay your medical bills. He knows he’s wrong and since he’s about to retire he feels like he can’t be touched, but his butt is still owned by the US military. Again, call JAG ask them what to do. If you get a jerk who won’t help and they give you the run around call another base’s JAG. Get your bills paid so you can give more to your kids and maybe their future education.
Hope this helps, good luck, and don’t be afraid to fight back and don’t listen to his crap. I just have a feeling he has been giving you false info. for years now.
