Here\u2019s What the Courts Consider<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p id=\"\">When military families go through divorce or separation, the topic of money can get complicated\u2014fast. One of the most common questions service members and their spouses ask is whether <strong id=\"\">Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)<\/strong> and <strong id=\"\">Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS)<\/strong> will be factored into <strong id=\"\">child support<\/strong> or <strong id=\"\">alimony<\/strong> calculations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">The short answer? <strong id=\"\">Yes\u2014usually.<\/strong> But there are some exceptions.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"\">What Are BAH and BAS?<\/h3>\n<ul id=\"\">\n<li id=\"\"><strong id=\"\">BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing)<\/strong> is intended to offset housing costs for service members who don\u2019t live in government housing. It varies based on location, rank, and dependent status.<\/li>\n<li id=\"\"><strong id=\"\">BAS (Basic Allowance for Subsistence)<\/strong> is meant to cover meal costs. It&#8217;s a flat monthly rate and does <em id=\"\">not<\/em> vary based on dependents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"\">Although these allowances are <strong id=\"\">not taxable<\/strong> and technically not considered \u201cbase pay,\u201d <strong id=\"\">family courts almost always count them as part of your income<\/strong> when determining support obligations.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"\">Why Courts Include BAH and BAS<\/h3>\n<p id=\"\">Family courts are focused on your <strong id=\"\">actual ability to pay<\/strong>, not just your base salary. If you\u2019re receiving thousands of dollars a month in housing and food allowances, that increases your overall financial resources\u2014and the court will factor that in when calculating support.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">This is especially important when:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"\">\n<li id=\"\">The service member lives off base and receives full BAH<\/li>\n<li id=\"\">The spouse has primary custody and relies on support to meet the child\u2019s needs<\/li>\n<li id=\"\">There is a significant difference in income between the spouses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"\">Are There Times When BAH or BAS <em id=\"\">Aren\u2019t<\/em> Included?<\/h3>\n<p id=\"\">Yes, though these situations are less common. Here are two examples:<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"\">  <strong id=\"\">Example 1: On-Base Housing With No Cash Value<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p id=\"\">If a service member is living in government-provided on-base housing, they typically <strong id=\"\">do not receive BAH in cash<\/strong>. In this case, even though the military is covering their housing, they\u2019re not receiving a direct monetary benefit that increases their income.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\"><strong id=\"\">Some courts may choose <em id=\"\">not<\/em> to include BAH<\/strong> in support calculations if there is <strong id=\"\">no cash value assigned<\/strong> to it. Others might still impute a fair market value for housing, especially if it seems relevant to maintaining a child\u2019s standard of living. It often depends on the judge and the jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"\">  <strong id=\"\">Example 2: Temporary or Fluctuating Allowances<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p id=\"\">In some cases, a service member might receive <strong id=\"\">temporary or fluctuating BAH or BAS<\/strong> due to a deployment, PCS move, or other short-term assignment. If the allowance is clearly not recurring or stable, a court might <strong id=\"\">exclude it from ongoing support calculations<\/strong>\u2014or average it out over time rather than counting the full temporary boost.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"\">What If You&#8217;re the One Paying Support?<\/h3>\n<p id=\"\">If you&#8217;re the service member, it&#8217;s important to ensure your support obligations are based on a <strong id=\"\">realistic and sustainable picture of your income<\/strong>\u2014not inflated by temporary or non-cash benefits. If you&#8217;re the spouse, you want to make sure <strong id=\"\">all sources of income are being considered<\/strong> to ensure a fair and accurate support award.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"\">Key Takeaway<\/h3>\n<p id=\"\"><strong id=\"\">BAH and BAS will almost always be included as income<\/strong>, but exceptions do exist. The way your allowances are handled can significantly impact how much support you pay or receive. That\u2019s why it\u2019s critical to work with an attorney who understands military pay structures and how civilian courts interpret them.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"\">Need Help Navigating Military Divorce?<\/h3>\n<p id=\"\">Our firm works exclusively with military families.
