Hey y'all... I know it's been a lil bit since I last posted. But here is a new question. Until me and FDW are married, can I assume guardianship over the 2 young'ns to retain BAH? The DBBF is not in the picture, and provides NO support whatsoever. If this is possible, what all would I need to do?

TIA,
-Dusty

What is a BAH?

As for assuming guardianship, etc.... Our attorney told me long ago that since the Skid lived in my home (my DW was the CP) that I should do whatever I want regarding parenting, etc... until a judge told me otherwise. So I did and no Judge ever told me I could not act as my Skids parent in every sense of the title.

So, I recommend you act as their guardian/parent with out without papers that officially recognize the facts of the situation.

Good luck.

Basic Allowance for Housing (OP must be military). I think it has to be more legal than just acting like their parent.
