DIGEST: 1. Where two Air Force members married
             to each other with one child are
             divorced, the male member paying
             child support and the female member
             having custody of the child, the
             child is the dependent of both mem-
             bers under 37 U.S.C. 401; however,
             since only one member may receive
             basic allowance for quarters (BAQ)
             based on the child as a dependent,
             only the member paying child support
             (in this case the male member)
             receives BAQ at the with dependent
             rate.

         2. Where two Air Force members married
             to each other with one child are
             divorced, the male member paying
             child support and the female member
             having custody of the child, the male
             member is entitled to receive basic
             allowance for quarters (BAQ) at with
             dependent rate. However, if the mem-
             ber receiving the increased BAQ does
             not claim the dependent child, the
             female member who has custody of the
             child may claim BAQ at the with
             dependent rate.

         3. Where two Air Force members who are
             married to each other and who have
             one child are divorced with the male
             paying child support and the female
             having custody of the child, the male
             member receives increased basic allow-
             ance for auarters (BAQ) on account of
             the child, but the female member may
             claim increased BAQ on account of the
             child, if the male member declines
             to claim the child for BAQ purposes.
             When the male member acquires or has
             different dependents on which to base
             his claim for increased BAQ, it may.
