Can Veterans' disability compensation be divided with an ex spouse?

Is veterans affairs disability used for child support in Florida?

United States Code, Title 38, Section 5301, Non assignability and exempt status of benefits, reads in part;Payment of benefits due or to become due under any law administered by the secretary shall not be assignable except to the extent specifically authorized by the law, and such payments made to, or on a account, of a beneficiary shall be exempt from taxation, shall be exempt from the claim of creditors, and shall not be liable to attachment, levy, or seizure by or under any legal or equitable process whatsoever, either before or after receipt by the beneficiary.It is my understanding that a veteran's service-connected disability compensation is intended to financially compensate a military veteran disabled in the line of duty. This compensation is not an asset or property and should not be used to calculate a veterans net worth. Disability compensation is awarded to a veteran that has lost some/all physical or mental ability to work, or maintain a daily routine. Veteran's disability compensation is tax exempt and is not classified "income" by the IRS. VA disability compensation is non-transferable and cannot be awarded to a third party under any legal process whatsoever. Even after the veteran has deposited these funds into their personal bank account they are federally protected from attachment or seizure. Disability compensation belongs solely to the disabled veteran that has suffered the disability and therefore should not be used to calculate income.VA monetary benefit entitlements with are generally based on either the veterans disability or wartime service from service-connected injury or disease. Compensation is generally not considered remuneration (payment) for employment.However, the Social Security Act and the statutes governing benefit payment by the Department of Veterans Affairs do provide for processes by which dependents may obtain financial support from veterans' benefits under certain circumstances. Department of Veterans Affairs has issued regulations pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 5307 that provide for an apportionment of VA benefits between the veteran and his/her dependents under certain circumstances. VA regulations at 38 CFR Section 3.450(a)(1)(ii) provide that, if the veteran is not residing with his or her spouse, or if the veteran's children are not residing with the veteran and the veteran is not reasonably discharging his or her responsibility for the spouse's or children's support, all or any part of the veteran's pension, compensation, or emergency officers' retirement pay may be apportioned.I would look for a organization call "Operation Firing for Effect" They are fighting to support Veterans rights and have been dealing with such cases. Their website is http://www.offe2008.org/. I hope that answers your question.

the spouse has no entitlement to the veterans benefits (the post states that the spouse has no entitelment to the veterans benefits) the spouse is entitled to education benefits, ChampVa medical, the life insurance paid by the VA, the spouse would be beneficiary (if was chosen) if the veteran passes due to the disability caused by service connection then there are pay benefits.
